About
Pavilhão Clube Nacional de Natação is the indoor swimming pavilion for Clube Nacional de Natação, located on Rua de S. Bento in the São Bento neighborhood. The 4.0 Google rating reflects a functional, established swimming facility.
The pool is the main draw — a proper indoor lap pool used for both training and recreational swimming. For traveling families who want to swim properly (not just splash in a small hotel pool), this is a solid affordable option.
No dedicated website or phone number is listed for the pavilion specifically — the National Club of Swimming main number (+351 21 393 3430) is the best contact. Public recreational swim times need to be confirmed ahead.
The São Bento area is pleasant and walkable, close to Príncipe Real and Bairro Alto. Easy to combine swimming with a lunch in that area afterward.
