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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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

The Prince Alfred Park Pool near Central Station re-opened on 13th May 2013 after complete reconstruction. The pool and its surrounds are really good. The City of Sydney is providing free admission for the first 6 months, I guess this is some kind of apology to the public for the pool being closed so much longer than was planned. The pool is heated and was about 26º - 27º C. when I swam in it this morning. Lighting towers are really good, I think they are LED lights, very bright before sunrise. Change rooms are good, everything is very new and clean.
[May, 2013]
Rating: 9 on a scale of 10. One point deducted because the new changing rooms will be tight when heavily used. Beautiful grounds. It's nice to welcome a once-tired pool back to top flight use.
[May, 2013]
Rating: 9 on a scale of 10 (still). Just an ongoingly great place to swim laps, winter or summer. It's in a beautiful setting. There are some really good swimmers. The lanes are speed segregated. It can be busy after work, but at other times of the day you’ll be the only person in your lane.
