Even though rivers and canals snake their way through Ho Chi Minh City, you definitely don’t want to swim in those murky waters. They’re basically plumbing extensions for millions of toilets. Vietnam boasts some impressive coastline as well, but do you really want to drive a couple hours every time you want to swim? Neither do we, so here are the best pools in Ho Chi Minh City.
1. Dai Dong Swimming Pool

Here’s another excellent choice for those of you who like to swim laps. This pool has plenty of lanes, and at just 18,000 VND (0.75 USD), the price is right as well. Men, bring your Speedos — no swimming trunks allowed. Also, women can’t wear white bikinis.

When it comes to luxury hotel brands in Saigon, Rex is always near the top of the list. However, many of the top hotels in the city charge exorbitant prices for the public to use their pools. While the Rex pool certainly isn’t cheap to use, it’s more reasonable than other pricey hotels in District 1 — and the views are spectacular.
Price: 160,000 VND (7 USD)
