Hi all,
I recently moved here and I wanted to get back into swimming regularly. I was wondering.

Are there any outdoor pools open year round?

Failing that are there any cheap indoor pools in the city centre, Masalana, Gran Via area?

Hi David, there are not outdoor swimming pools open during winter inside the center of Madrid (they actually only allow them to open during a certain period of time of summer, supposedly to save water and care about the environment) The area you are asking to find a swiming pool is a little bit harder and more expensive. But there are several gyms and what we called "polideportivos" (which means small building to practice all kind of sports) that might have one.

Here you can find a list of all swimming pools in Madrid area, let me know if you have any doubts (the list is in spanish)
