Ive pretty much been to all of them, atleast till 1999. You are in luck, because Islamabad is the only city modern enoughin the country to have plenty of good quality pools, including an olympic sized one. Here are some, both from Rawalpindi and Isloo.

Blue Lagoon, Saddar Rawalpindi, run by the Army. Not recommended and the army lifeguards and instructors are morons.

Pindi Club. Thats where I started learning when I was 6-7, again not recommended, too small and lots of idiotic faujis around.

Islamabad Sports Complex - Olympics sized pool, HUGE. Kinda alright. Next to Jinnah Stadium, where the 1989 SAF games were held. This is the ONLY olympics sized pool in the entire country.

Islamabad Club - Cleanest one, but you need to buy the entire membership package. Its also the only one I remember open for guys and gals at the same time

Shaukats Spa, not sure if its still there but this one in F-6 Super Market was indoors, and quite clean. Had a good instructor back then.

I am sure there are lots more now.







Second star to the right and straight on till morning
