Swimming in Borovets?

I'll be taking my 2 small children to Borovets and I'm wondering what we can do as a family in the evenings. Is there a pool for public use, does anyone know?

There's a pool in the Rila which was open for general use when we stayed there a few years ago, one word of warning though, the water was freezing.

Peachesandclive,
If You read old posts i think the rila pool gets a general thumbs up but i'm sure quite a few people have said that it is slippery around the pool so maybe some beach shoes/jellies could be in order..........

You can also use the pool in the Flora apartments.

There's a bowling alley in the Samokov Hotel too.

If you catch the public bus (2 lev one-way) (leaves from outside the Samokov Hotel) down to Samokov town there's an ice rink there.

You could also get a taxi - that'll cost about 10 lev.
