The swimming pool in Húsafell is one of the most popular recreations in the area. It was originally built in 1965 but since the pool and its surroundings have been renovated greatly. There are two swimming pools, as well as two hut tubs, along with a water slide.

The hot water in the pool originally came from hot springs in the close by Selgil. Now the it comes from hot water drill holes in Selgil, where the water is around 77 degrees warm, and Hveragil, where the water is around 64 degrees warm. Combined there are around 45 liters of hot water which come out of these two drill holes every second.
