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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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

Swim cap and shower shoes are required.
Public swimming times are limited to a few hours per day, lane (lap) swimming only - it has no shallow end or children's area. The pool is managed by the Rari Nantes Venezia Swim Club, click on the link in the "Teams that Use Facility" section (above), then on Nuoto Libero or just click HERE.
After receiving a broken web link "Edit" for this listing, we experienced difficulty accessing the pool's official web page on the City of Venice website. After a few tries, we found that we could not access anything on the city's site. Then we realized that it might have been configured to block connections from outside of the country, so we turned on our VPN (Virtual Private Network software) and set it to show that we were connecting from an Italian server. That fixed the problem!

But there's not much information on the pool's "official" web page, so we recommend that people who are interested in finding out more about the pool go either to the Rari Nantes' website or to their Facebook page. The Facebook page has some good photographs, too.)

Facility Reviews

Well-maintained, perfect water temperature. The changing areas are spacious and clean; no lockers, but valuables can be left with reception. Sacca Fisola is a haven of tranquility compared to the congested tourist areas around San Marco.
The facility is pretty crowded during the day and the swimmers are not competitive swimmers.
I swam with competent and considerate swimmers, and had the lane to myself the last half hour.
