Important Notice Please Read

Swimmers Guide is not connected with any of the facilities listed on this site in any way. We cannot tell you the pools’ opening and closing times or when Senior Aerobics classes are held; we cannot tell you about the availability or cost of swimming lessons; we cannot get you discounted admission to swim at any of them; and we cannot help you find your children’s lost goggles or bathing suits.

We can and do try to give you reliable information about the pools, their locations, their admission policies, and their single-visit or casual swimming prices. Where possible, we include hypertext links to the pools’ own official websites and Facebook pages, clickable email addresses, and links to the websites of the clubs and teams that swim there. Look to those resources within each listing for more detailed information.

The data in the site is under continual review and is revised whenever the site’s editor becomes aware of a change, but, with more than 20,000 listings, a complete, periodic review of every listing takes about seven years to complete; in many places, prices will change four or five times before we have a chance to check the pool’s official website again.

For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us. There is an "Edit" button on just about every line of every listing, click on the edit button to tell us what needs to be changed. (No, it's not a place for you to ask us questions. What we have in each listing is the latest news we have.)

Also, please consider checking the listings of the pools you regularly use at home or when traveling, as your knowledge may be helpful to someone else who is unfamiliar with the area and visiting for the first time. Just go to the Add a Pool section of the site, read the first page, then fill out the questionnaire.

Facility Notes

To purchase a membership, you need copy of your passport, two passport photos, and a medical certificate. The form cost 150 baht (USD 4.79); an annual membership is 40 baht (USD 1.27); and then it's 15 baht (USD 0.48) per entry. [Prices and currency conversion rates are as of February, 11, 2019.]
The required medical certificate can be obtained at almost any clinic and hospital. If you don't speak Thai, there will almost certainly be someone there who speaks English and can do the necessary interpretation. There is a NITIPON beauty salon that is convenient at 597/4 Sukhumvit Road and it costs only 150 baht. The doctor on staff is not present for all store hours, so you may need to call or visit to find out when the doctor will be there. The telephone number is (02) 662 2639. [October, 2015]

Facility Reviews

Good for laps swimming - except when school is out.
This pool is generally deserted. It is occasionally patronized by schools but that doesn't interfere with lap swimming, as they tend to use a smaller, 10m x 10m, 1m depth, kids' pool.
This is a great 25m pool for my daily 1,640m swim. When I went for the medical certificate, the guy there asked me if I had any itching, I said no, and he issued me the form immediately.

This pool is as currently described above, except that it appears to be better maintained and cleaner than I expected. It has a very small locker room with extremely dented and rusty lockers, half of which cannot be used--so people here would also want to leave their things beside the pool. When I was there, there was only one person in the pool, a lap swimmer who appeared to be very content with the situation.
[January, 2016]
Busy from 6 to 7 PM, uncrowded at all other times.

I went to register today. The conditions have not changed. They asked for an additional 10 THB for laminating the card. I had a 30 minute swim, it was 3:00 PM and there were only four people in the pool. Great deal.
