Byggð vorið 1923.
Aðal hvatamaður að byggingu laugarinnar og stofnun Ungmennafélagsins Eyfellings
var Björn J Andrésson. Laugin er elsta uppistandandi sundlaug landsins og sú
fyrsta sem kennt var skyldunám í sundi 25m. löng og var um árabil lengsta laug landsins.
Vinsamlegast gangið snyrtilega um svæðið og skiljið ekki eftir rusl.
Umferð hunda í lauginni eða búningsklefum er bönnuð.
ÖLL MEÐFERÐ ÁFENGIS VIÐ EÐA Í LAUGINNI ER STRANGLEGA BÖNNUÐ
Ath: Öll umferð um svæðið er alfarið á ábyrgð viðkomandi.
