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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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 university campus is a landmark in this community just outside of Quebec City. We're told this is just about the best place to swim in the Quebec City area.

Facility Reviews

A world-class facility with 10 lanes in a 50m pool, including a diving well. If you are in the Quebec City area and are looking for a great pool, take the drive to St. Foy. It's an impressive facility.
The facility remains in excellent condition and was relatively uncrowded on a Friday afternoon and Monday morning. Pull-buoys and kickboards are available; a swim cap is required.
This is truly a world-class facility. I came here for a Masters swimming competition in the "Olympic Pool" (the 10 lane x 50 meter, Pool 1), but also got to swim in Pool 2 for warmups and cooldowns. Both are meticulously maintained, super clean, with lots and lots of lifeguards.

They did enforce a "swimming cap required" in Pool 2, which was kind of odd since there was a large contingent of divers using the platforms and obviously not wearing caps. Maybe divers are normally cleaner people than swimmers :) ?? Just bring a cap.

One other thing to note is that they will sometimes setup Pool 2 (8 lane x 50 meters) widthwise for lap swimming and the lifeguards told me the widths are 21.5 meters. Lots of synchronized pace clocks, and everything you need and this fantastic facility for a great swim.
