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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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

The pool opened in the fall of 2007. It has electronic pace clocks at both ends, backstroke flags, nice gutters, kickboards, and pull buoys for anyone to use.

Facility Reviews

This is a great facility for kids, as there is a lazy river and several large slides. The outdoor pool has no lap swimming. It is the home pool for Plano West Senior High.
This is a very nice, comprehensive fitness and wellness center associated with Texas Health and operated by the City of Plano. Pool is as advertised, competition grade, 3 ft – 12 ft deep, 8 lanes. There are two 1m diving boards (and the business end of one of those Habitrail-looking water slides drops into the deep end!). There is an electronic pace clock; buoys, boards, and fins are available for use. Nice locker room, bring your own lock. Banners indicated this is the home pool for Plano West High School so check the schedule during the school swimming season. I was there at about 10 AM on a weekday and surprisingly every lane was in use, but not crowded (one or two swimmers per lane) and good lane etiquette was displayed. Adjoining next door is a free-form splash/fun pool, with a big slide and such. Entry fee is $6.00; photo ID required.
