Are there paid or indoor swimming pools in Batumi to use when the sea is rough?

TL;DR
Free public pools are basically gone in Batumi, but you can buy a day pass to a hotel pool (usually 20-40 GEL) or visit the local water park; there are no real thermal pools right in Batumi itself.
What the community said
Big beachfront hotels (Radisson Blu Batumi, Hilton Batumi, Sheraton Batumi) sell day passes to non-guests for their pools, often with sea views, roughly 20-40 GEL per person.

For an indoor/heated pool option in case of bad weather, it's best to call hotel reception directly — not all hotels allow outside guests, and access may be limited on weekdays or off-peak times.

Batumi has a water park with several pools and slides — a good full-day option with kids when the sea isn't inviting for swimming.

Free open-air pools in the Old Batumi area have mostly disappeared — expect a small entrance fee almost everywhere now instead of free access.

There are no genuine thermal pools right in Batumi — this coastal region doesn't have them. If you specifically want thermal springs, you'd need to travel to other parts of Georgia rather than look nearby.
