There is this thread listing three towns : Hontanas, Obrigo & Portomarin

Any other places that you might be familiar with? (the idea is to find places where we can spend the warmer hours with our kids).

(I am lazy -- a list of pools can be found here but I'll have to figure which are on the CF...)

Thanks

Disclaimers:
1) I don't have personal experience with any of the municipal pools in the towns I'll quote.
2) Many of the towns I quote have a municipal pool in service just on summer.
3) I hope the list to be as accurate as possible but I can't guarantee you it's mistake free.

You can bath in the river at Molinaseca, but make sure your feet are well dried off if you intend to walk on to Ponferrada, if not you do will get blisters! SY

@castillian -- thanks a million. Will try to find the time map and share their exact locations
@SYates -- noted. wrt blisters, I have "hardened skin" from summers barefoot, so I hope to be blister-free

In Puenta la Reina there is a nice private albergue, Santiago Apostol that has a swimming pool.

There is a pool in Hospital D'Obrigo. As you cross the bridge you can see an albergue of to the right (with a large ALBERGUE sign). The pool is directly opposite.

when I walked the camino in 2012, I saw people swimming in the river called "Rio Cua" in Cacabelos. After leaving the center of the town you just have to cross the bridge, which leads you towards the very nice "Albergue de peregrinos de Cacabelos"in the Santuario de la Quinta angustia.

This is the swimming pool in Hontanas on 28 June 2014. Summer! It was so cold that day there was only one person there and he was wrapped up in a sleeping bag Jill
