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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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

This facility was formerly listed using the Hilton Hotel in Sydney as the information "anchor point". The club is located in the hotel (accessible via Pitt Street or hotel elevators with key card) and was formerly operated by the Living Well health club chain.

Facility Reviews

This pool is immaculate and the water pristine. At 8 A.M. it was not crowded. The three lanes are organized into slow/fast /medium and there are lane lines. Care needs to be taken on backstroke however as the flags are too close to the wall! Club members can also enjoy the gym, spa and sauna.
The pool is available to members of the LivingWell Health Club (see "Editor's Update", below) and to hotel guests. If you're lucky, the pool is empty. If you're unlucky, it's packed with kids playing (whose parents are lounging in the hot tub) or parents dunking their infants in the water. It can get busy just before and after work and during lunch, but this can be harder to predict than a pool that is only part of a health club or only for hotel guests.

For hotel guests, towels are available in the elevator lobby. For health club members, towels are provided at the front desk. The locker rooms are large and well-appointed. Lockers have built-in combination locks that can be set. There are multiple individual shower stalls with soap and shampoo dispensers.

Editors' Update: As indicated in the "Facility Notes", above, the pool is no longer operated by the Living Well chain. We trust, however, that the balance of the review is still applicable.
