Gordon Swimming Pool

About

This 44-year-old facility offers a country club, of sorts, on the beach, with gym and swimming facilities. The open-air pools, which are open all year round, are filled with sea water, rather than chlorinated water. There is an Olympic-sized pool, split into lanes for lap swimmers, a children's area with water slides (which are open in the summer months) and a recreational area of the pool. The pool is flanked by large green lawns with sunshades made out of palm leaves. This area is used for parties in the summer and can be hired for weddings and barmitzvahs. The health club includes a well equipped gym, a studio offering a plethora of classes, plus jacuzzi, saunas, steam rooms and cafes. Membership is available on an annual, monthly or daily basis. A day's membership is 80 NIS. Swimming only tickets are available for NIS 45 on weekdays and NIS 50 on Shabbat.
