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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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

Photo ID is required for towels and a locker.
The Olympic Club has its own website HERE but we have been unable to access it lately. We received a note from a swimmer who told us he had no problem with that site, so the blockage may be on our machine or network. [January, 2018]

Facility Reviews

A very nice pool. Three lanes were marked for lap swimming only. Sodium chlorinate was indistinguishable from seawater. I suggest early morning or later evening as the sun tends to warm it mid-day.
Entry is now THB 589 (about $20, but a snip compared to having to stay there), including the pool for the day. Fairly empty, so lots of scope for lengths. And no conventional chlorine, plus easy to get to, etc.

The pool was nice and fresh. There were no lane lines but everybody was swimming lengths so it was OK.
It's a beautiful pool with Jacuzzis right next to it. There are spacious changing rooms, private showers, and a good steam room.
[January, 2018]
It's a decent pool. It cost 656 baht for the day but was worth it. I've been struggling to get access to a decent pool while in Bangkok, and this one is cheaper by 200 baht than the Virgin Active pool around the corner and the day pass can also be used for the gym.

The pool had three lanes for lap swimming and two for kids and families splashing around. I went at around 4 PM on a national holiday day and it was only slightly busy, but I was still able to swim. The temperature of the water was fine for front crawl.

The changing facilities were clean; lockers and towels were provided. There is a Jacuzzi next to the pool and I saw signs for a steam room though I didn’t use it. Be aware that if it's raining, they will ask you to get out the pool.

Overall, it's decent and I'll be using it regularly I think.
