Usage notes
- Usually means a man-made swimming pool. For a natural pool in rock or by a waterfall, context must make that clear.
- Use andare in piscina for swimming as an activity; not *andare alla piscina in many contexts.
- Common article contractions: in piscina, in una piscina, alla piscina. Learners often overuse the article after prepositions.
