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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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

Teams That Use This Facility

We have no web links or contact information for teams that train at this facility.

Facility Notes

The second pool is used only when the main pool is being used for competitions. At those times, it is usually separated into one 25m, 10 lane tank for laps and the remainder used for instruction.
Formerly an outdoor pool, "Pool 2", above has been enclosed in a tent-like structure that is not removed in summer.
There is also an official, City of Madrid, website for this facility; it can be found HERE.

Facility Reviews

The facility is very nice, but they only allow two or so lanes for public swim. I shared my lane with one to two other people and it wasn’t a problem. I would swim here again.
Very clean, lots of lanes, lockers with locks. In winter, the 50m lanes are split; there is no 50m swimming, except in the summer. The staff is very friendly and the water was great for swimming laps.
I was here in the summer and during "open swim," you had a choice of the two indoor pools (vs. the outdoor semi-covered "tent" pool). I chose the 50m pool and there were about five lanes available for lap swim, not separated by speed. I was told that open swim was from 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM. I had showed up at 10:05 and they made me wait until 10:15, when they started accepting ticket sales for open swim. Make sure to call and ask when open swim is on any given day.

The primary pool for lap swimming is normally divided into two 25 m sections. Instead of 10 lanes, however, they've managed to fit in 11. So, just as a warning, if you normally use the bottom lane marking to orient yourself and you’re circle swimming, you may find yourself swimming in a lane where the lane line is not in the middle. (I banged my arm a couple of times!)
