I noticed that I was putting on weight lately, all thanks to the junk food I was eating (sobs in the corner). I was getting worried with each passing day. I was desperately looking for a way to burn some calories in a short duration of time. I was not interested in gym because it was stressful and boring for me.

After listening to my rants, a friend of mine who happens to be a fitness coach recommended me swimming.

Okay… it all sounded great and practical but wait a second… I DO NOT HAVE A SWIMMING POOL AT MY PLACE!

So, I researched swimming pools in Islamabad, especially swimming pools near me. And voila! Thankfully, the capital is overflowing with some top-notch pools.

Swimming is an excellent way to shed off some calories. It is an excellent hobby and sport that keeps you healthy and in shape. However, many of us do not have pools at home.

But not to worry, many places in Islamabad are offering indoor and outdoor pools for their valuable customers.

I have come up with a precise yet informative list of places that are offering swimming pools. Go through the list and choose the pool according to your budget and preferences.

However, before going for swimming, make sure you have the following things with you:

Swimwear
Extra pair of clothes
Bandages
Towel and robe
Swimming cap
Goggles
Toiletries
Hairbrush
Flip flops or poolside shoes
Locker coins
