Gordon Pool, Swimming center on Mediterranean coast, Tel Aviv, Israel
Gordon Pool is a swimming center on the Mediterranean coast of Tel Aviv, with a 50-meter seawater pool and a separate children's pool. The site also has saunas and fitness areas.
The center was designed by architect Werner Joseph Wittkower and opened in 1956, making it one of Tel Aviv's first public recreational facilities on the waterfront. Its opening helped shape how the city's residents related to the coast.
This place serves as a gathering spot where locals come to swim, take fitness classes, and spend time outdoors with friends. The community uses the facility year-round for everyday activities and social gatherings.
The pool is open every day and can be visited with a day pass or a membership. Parking is available on site, and the beach is directly accessible from the grounds.
The pool at Gordon Pool is filled with seawater drawn directly from the Mediterranean, so swimmers are technically in the sea while staying within the structure of a lap pool. This makes it one of the few places in the world where you can do structured training in actual seawater.
