Laugardalslaug (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈlœyːɣarˌtalsˌlœyːx], "pool of Laugardalur") is a public thermal baths and swimming pool complex located in the Laugardalur district of Iceland's capital Reykjavík. With an indoor Olympic-size swimming pool, a 50-metre-long outdoor swimming pool, a 400 m2 playing pool, 8 hot pots of various temperatures, and a 17 m2 steam bath, it is the largest conventional swimming pool complex in Iceland. Receiving about 800,000 visitors in 2010,[1] it is the most visited thermal baths in Iceland after the Blue Lagoon.
