Along these lines, in a recent interview with the First Lady of Iceland, she recommends that tourists who want to meet real Icelanders should visit a swimming pool:
"They say if you want to meet a Brit, go to a pub; if you want to meet a French person, go to a cafe. And definitely here in Iceland, you go to a swimming pool, because that’s where you can meet people — morning, afternoon or evening. And I recommend that visitors try different pools, because they all have their own character and personality and you can meet different types of people. They’re clean and affordable, and it’s something that all the locals do."
