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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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 Reviews

I swam twice at Rantakylän during a business trip to Joensuu. First off: Gentlemen, BRING YOUR SPEEDOs. This facility doesn't allow baggy swimming trunks; men have to have wear tight fitting, brief-style swimwear. This is a very clean facility. The water, though a bit cold, is clear and I couldn't smell or taste any chlorine. The showers are great and the sauna is fantastic. I have never had a larger or nicer locker than the one I got at Rantakylän.

Lanes 1 and 2 are for "slow pokes"; lanes 3 and 4 are for clubs and swim lessons; and lanes 5 and 6 are for semi-serious to serious swimmers. My only complaint is that when I arrived at 7 PM, lanes 5 and 6 were a bit too crowded, with nine people sharing the two lanes. But the crowd quickly died off and by about 8 PM, it was just me and one or two others. They had the flags up for those who swim backstroke; just another indication that swimming here is taken pretty seriously.

All in all, it's a pretty good swimming pool, and a great swimming pool, if you can come when it's not too crowded.
