Swimming, an exercise that combines both cooling off and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), is one solution for alleviating the conflict between urban heat problems and public health. Therefore, the distribution and spatial accessibility of swimming pools are worth examining. Using open-source data we scraped from the Baidu Map API (Application Programming Interface), we designed and constructed a grid-based accessibility index. We analyzed pool accessibility in three aspects: distribution of pools, catchment area of pools, and spatial disparities of the accessibility index. The results are as follows. (a) The pools are clustered, dense in the central area, and sparse in the peripheral areas. (b) 53.16% of the residents can access a pool within 5 minutes by cycling, and the number is only 12.03% when they travel on foot. The poor situation is highly improved with the extension of time, these figures are up to 97.62% and 70.71% when the time cost is 15 minutes. The overall circular buffer significantly mismatches the real catchment area of the pools. (c) The spatial disparity in accessibility is significant and shows a sharply decreasing trend outward from the center. (d) Pool accessibility is mainly influenced by the distribution of pools and ground obstacles such as rivers, mountains, and elevated roads. The method used here has high precision and can be used for accessibility assessments of other facilities in the city.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijgi11100515","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,11]],"date-time":"2022-10-11T03:32:56Z","timestamp":1665459176000},"page":"515","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Assessing the Accessibility of Swimming Pools in Nanjing by Walking and Cycling Using Baidu Maps"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2185-1432","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yifan","family":"Dong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Landscape Architecture, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bing","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Landscape Architecture, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7182-140X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhenqi","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, University at Buffalo-SUNY, Buffalo, NY 14261, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6985-2277","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhen","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Landscape Architecture, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"108587","DOI":"10.1016\/j.buildenv.2021.108587","article-title":"Will individuals visit hospitals when suffering heat-related illnesses?
