About

The Chinese word 游泳池 is formed by combining the characters 游 (yóu), meaning "to swim", 泳 (yǒng), also meaning "to swim", and 池 (chí), meaning "pool". The first two characters together create the compound 游泳, which means "swimming", and adding 池 specifies the place, resulting in the term for "swimming pool".
