Half Moon Resort

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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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 resort has a number of swimming pools; this one is referred to as the "lap pool".
If you're staying at lodgings off the gated Half Moon Resort property, the owner may have and may include access to the resort's amenities. This is on a property-by-propertty basis so, if access to the pool (or two-mile long beach) is important to you, be sure to confirm that your host has the access to offer.

Facility Reviews

Apart from the weird length, this is a very serviceable pool. The skimmers are at the ends of the middle lane, and the other lanes have big eyebolts at their ends, so watch your feet on the turns. The pool has lane stripes, but no turn targets or ropes.

This 43-metre pool hits a lot of highlights for a swimmer who wants to get serious workouts during vacation. A few things to note: The sign indicates they are open from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Theoretically you can swim at all hours, but a pool attendant will come by in the morning - every few days to do a super-chlorination that keeps you out of the pool for 45 minutes - with no warning. I have swum here several days so far, and there has never been anyone else in the pool. No speed workouts in this pool – the water's too hot - but for endurance workouts it is amazing, and under the beautiful Caribbean skies.
