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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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

This location was formerly the home of the YMCA of Central Louisiana. The pool is open during all of the YWCA's open hours, with two lanes set aside for lap swimming at all times.

Facility Reviews

They just renovated the pool and repainted it. There are always two lanes available for swimming and three available for recreation… and in the warmer pool there are water aerobic classes that you can participate in as well.
[May, 2006]
This is a very old pool with a very shallow, shallow end. I could do a flip turn but it was difficult/comical. The water was not crystal clear, though I do believe it was clean. The pool was shared between a couple of designated lap lanes and water aerobics classes in the remaining area, and it was my impression that this is often the case. The staff was extremely friendly and the other swimmers were warm and welcoming, but the pool itself was sad. It was hard not to make connections between the shameful history of restricted pools in the south and this very worn and repaired pool where a majority of the patrons were black.
