While wandering around Giudecca, I came to its mainly residential area. I crossed the small Bridge off the square near the church, which took me onto Sacca Fissola, Here I came across a public swimming pool -Piscine Comunali Rari Nantes (Public Swimming Pool) Sacca Fisola, Venezia.
It was Christmas day, so was closed.
There is another Public Swimming pool in Canaregio (I'm not sure if this is an indoor or open pool)
Piscine Comunali Rari Nantes
(Public Swimming Pool)
Cannaregio 3161 - S. Alvise, Venezia
Phone: 041 713567
So, if your hotel doesn't have a swimming pool -(Cipriani, Molino Stucky, Boscolo Luxury Grand, Hotel Dei Dogi, Bauer Hotel , Hotel Santa Marina are 4 that do have pools) and you don't want to trek over to the beaches of the Lido, these are 2 options!
I'm not sure if any of these hotels are open to the public.
Swimming in Bacino San Marco and the canals etc is forbidden.
Equipment: I seem to remember that swimming in public pools in Italy, requires wearing a swimming cap.

I finally got to see this ground-although only from the outside! I'd read about it in my guide books over the years, and had been hoping to find it.
So at my latest visit to Venice I headed east, off the beaten track, to explore Isola Sant' Elena
Venices football (soccer ) team play their home matches at the Stadio Pierluigi Penzo on Isola Sant'Elena in the sestieri of Castello - at the South easternmost tip of Venice.
This is the only Football league stadium in Europe to be entirely surrounded by water!
At present the team are in Serie B, but their Glory Days were between 1998 and 2000 when they were in Serie A - They're still hoping for a return!
Matches are played from September to the end of June, and you can see them at their home ground on alternate Sunday afternoons. Kick off 1500 hours.
Tickets on sale at the ground and from ACTV and Vela public transport offices- Piazzale Roma and Calle dei Fuseri (San Marco). Offices open Mon - Fri 0900 - 12.30 and 14.30 -1900.
Prices 15 - 25 Euros
The flag waving and singing opponents arrive by train, and are then transported by their own vaporetto to the ground.
I really want to see a match here!
