About

A heated open-air swimming complex on the Gulf of Finland shore near Krestovsky Island, part of the wider Flagshtok public space. Water surface: 1,450 square metres; capacity: 200 people at a time; water temperature maintained between 28°C and 32°C, so the pool works year-round. Two pools: a large 50×25 metre pool (depth 1.4-1.8 m) for lap swimming, and a smaller 20×10 metre pool (depth 0.6-0.9 m) with hydro-massage jets. Changing facilities and food on the ground floor of the complex. Flagshtok is one of the more distinctive Petersburg public-space projects — the pool is genuinely usable in winter, when the steam over the water against the Gulf ice is one of the specific city images.
