Swimming and Training in Hiroshima
Here are a few pools that mywaterworld.life has researched, with comments, where feasible. Best advice is to check with your hotel or try the contact on the Japan Masters Swimming Resources page.
The information about each pool includes a link to the facilitie’s website, pool length, the time (with its embeded link) that it would take using public transport to get from Hiroshima Station to the pool and comments, if any, about the facility.
Hiroshin Big Wave – 50m, 25 minutes
The facility is close to the Botanic Gardens.
Hiroshima Prefectural Sports Center – 25m, 20 minutes
Seems OK for training.
Shinonome Indoor Pool – 25m, 25 minutes
About 20 minutes by public transport to the Mazda Museum.
Yoshijima Indoor Pool – 25m, 40 minutes
A 5 minute walk to Cannery Row Hiroshima Boat Park if you feel like some Italian after training.
Dejima Indoor Pool – 25m, 55 minutes
Close to the ferry port for visits to Miyajima or other islands in the area.
There certainly are other pools, but the distance from the Hiroshima Station increases considerably. You can check out a more comprehensive and official guide to pools in Hiroshima from here.
