Where can I swim in Haidian?

I’m an international student looking for a place to swim in Haidian, preferably an indoor pool near Xueyuan road. Any good recommendations? Some of the pools I looked up have bad reviews.

Use the one at your uni? Otherwise, there are plenty of private swimming pools all over Beijing/Haidian, often hidden inside residential complexes and in basements. You should be able to find plenty using common map apps such as Baidu Maps or Gaode. That being said, Haidian is very big.

There is an outdoor pool in the area nearby XiDiaoYuTai/ CiShouSi stations. Used to go there often.
