Swimming

In the Central Carmel section, you'll find the Maccabi swimming pool on Bikkurim Street (tel. 04/838-8341), heated in winter, and serviced by bus no. 21, 22, or 23 and by the Carmelit. Admission is NIS 20 ($4.40), but the fee doubles in winter. Don't forget the pleasant gardened pool at the Dan Carmel Hotel, where an outsider can buy a whole day's worth of pool privileges, as well as the use of shaded swings and slides for kids for NIS 60 ($13).
