I have a friend coming to town and I thought I would take him swimming here since I don't know a lot of interesting things to do during the daytime.聽 Any recommendations?聽 I'm cool with up to 200K or so ..

It's not a rooftop pool but there are large, clear windows above the pool at the 258 Club at of course 258 Tran Hung Dao, Dist. 1.

You can have the place almost to yourselves during a week day afternoon and a small restaurant is attached.

One time admission was 40,000 VND but may have increased.

Otherwise, the Rex Hotel has 2 beautiful pools but probably a rather pricey day pass.

My vote goes to the Sheraton Saigon with a long roof top pool (25m?).
They do have a ok gym and a sauna, but the sauna is tiny and not hot at all (I need mine to be 90C+).

Don't know the entrance price.

Take them to The Rex Hotel. Their old wing has a really nice rooftop pool/restaurant and a nice view of the downtown area.聽 I think it's on the 5th floor. There's not much to see on Tran Hung Dao street.
