Pools


Swimming pools abound in South Africa. A daytime flight into Johannesburg or Cape Town International airports will confirm this. However, where is the visitor to swim? The hotel pool? Not everyone will be staying at a hotel with a star that means pool. The sea? Good luck to you if you're in Cape Town. The pool in the yard next to your guesthouse? Better hope they leave the electric fence on low.

Or, you could just head on down to Seapoint in Cape Town and experience the public pools.

Entry is cheap and the pools are immaculate, warmed and have attendants on duty. Swim, dive, exercise and pose to your hearts content - and not a shark in sight!
