This excellent, open-air thermal-baths complex is one of the best in the country, due to its variety of pools and dramatic setting on the side of a valley.

Punta Carrasco
Has three nice outdoor pools near the Río de la Plata, but they may or may not be open during your trip. Give it a ring to double check.

You can buy balls here, and rackets are occasionally available to rent – but don’t count on it.
