Explanation
The word combines สระ, meaning a pond or pool, with ว่ายน้ำ, meaning to swim. It is a neutral term used in both everyday conversation and facility information. The classifier is สระ: สระว่ายน้ำสองสระ means “two swimming pools.” An indoor pool is สระว่ายน้ำในร่ม, and an outdoor pool is สระว่ายน้ำกลางแจ้ง.
Usage
It is commonly used when checking hotel or condo amenities and when discussing a pool's location, opening hours, or rules at a sports facility.
Caution
This is a noun naming a facility. Use ว่ายน้ำ for the action “to swim” and ไปว่ายน้ำ for “to go swimming.”
