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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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 Castleton pool is accessible and inexpensive, although when I swam there, lane markers came down before lap time ended and participants in the upcoming class entered without regard for lap swimmers.
I swim at Castleton State College because it's the only place that I can swim laps within 35 or 40 miles of my home. Unfortunately, I've found the staff to be indifferent and frequently downright rude; the lane lines are regularly not tightened properly; and staff start taking them down before lap swim times are up. Far worse, however, is the fact that the pool is filthy most all of the time. Having swum in pools across the country over the last 30 years, I feel it's the dirtiest I've ever encountered. And the water is always much too warm. If there were any other option that was convenient, I would never go to this pool again. The least the college could do is KEEP IT CLEAN and teach the staff to say "hi" or "thank you", once in a while.
