"The turtle began to swim in the pool."

Translation: Skildpadden begyndte at svømme i svømmebassinet.

[PeterCorde3]

why is "skildpadden startede at svømme..." wrong ?

What does svømmebad means?

[deactivated user]

Not a word I would usually use, but it means "åbent eller overdækket offentligt anlæg med svømmebassin(er)" = open or roofed public grounds/park with swimming pool(s)

Ok, so it doesn't necessarily means swimming pool.
I thought they were synonyms. Thanks.
