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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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

This is a very large prefectural sports facility in Tendo. It’s a bit older, maybe 1980s vintage at a guess, but in good condition. The 25m pool building is not well signed in English on the site, so you may need to use Google to get to the right place. The pool water is not too warm. There are no kickboards or other aids available. One lane is reserved for walking and slow swimming and the rest is available for laps. There were two to a lane or so on a Saturday afternoon. Excellent pool etiquette is observed, and the people are friendly. Everything was clean; nothing was broken. It was a very enjoyable swim. The staff went out of their way to be helpful despite our lack of common language.

The shoe area is just outside the locker room and there are minimal but functional changing facilities (curtained change booths but no benches or hooks anywhere). The use of small, keyed lockers costs ¥100, non-refundable. There are showers on the way to the pool and poolside.

Tendo is a small city, a little north of the prefectural capital, Yamagata City. It is approximately 1.5 km from Tendominami JR train station in Tendo and the route is marked with English signs. Tendominami station is only 5 or 6 stations north of the Yamagata train station. Trains run approximately hourly in the middle of the day. (Note that the Yamagata to Tendominami route does not accept Suica or Pasmo cards for train tickets so you will need to purchase ¥240 tickets from ticket machines for travel in each direction.
