following site: http://triestenet.tripod.com/aquamarina.htm.
Remember to take a swimming cap with you, as it is obligatory in all  
structures!
The nearby seaside resort of Grado is nice to visit also in winter,  
with its historical centre, basilica and roman remains.  You can read  
about the town (in English) on the site:

pool (more information in Italian on the site:
