Norðfjörður Swimming Pool
Stefánslaug Swimming Pool is an outstanding outdoor swimming pool with hot tubs, sauna, and two water slides.

The Stefánslaug Swimming Pool was first opened in 1943 and is therefore on an old foundation. In the years 2001 to 2006 the swimming pool was rebuilt practically from the ground up, first the pool itself and then the pool house.

Selárlaug Swimming pool in Vopnafjörður
Selárdalur Swimming PoolPhone: 473 1499 – 473 1331e-mail: info@vopnafjardarhreppur.isThe swimming pool is 3.5 km. from road 85 on the way to Bakkafjörður, 12 km. from central Vopnafjörður. The pool is on the banks of the Selá river which runs along a shallow ravine. It is a beautiful setting for a swimming pool, and is famous for its surroundings. Just nearby is a hot water spring that has been used for many years for bathing. Today the spring waters are used to heat up the water in the swimming pool.
Access for handicapped people is good at the Selá pool. There is also a picnic area and a large sundeck, as well as a large hot tub and wading pool for children.
The swimming pool was built in Summer, 1949 by members of Einherja, a young men’s group in Vopnafjörður. They worked mostly as volunteers and it was opened in Summer, 1950. Repairs and improvements have been made and the pool is in good condition, and the surrounding area has always been well-kept. Until 1975, swimming lessons were held for two weeks with the students living in the pool house and it must have been quite a jolly time during the lessons.
Today, swimming lessons are held here in the fall and spring.Opening hours Selárdalur Swimming pool:
