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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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

There is also a 50m, 8 lane, heated, 80°F (27°C), outdoor pool at this location. It's usually open from early May until the middle or end of October. One swimmer wrote to tell us "The outdoor pool here is spectacular, with a view of the mountains…"
The facility is also known as the Salt Lake City Sports Complex and Steiner Aquatic Center.
Just about everyone who writes us about this pool tells us to remind everyone to bring their own lock, towel, and soap.

Facility Reviews

Heavily used… expect to share a lane with two or three others.
The indoor pool, which I always recommended, has really gone downhill - dirty water, rust on everything metal, cracked tiles, needed vacuuming… The outdoor pool is fantastic, but take a pass on the indoor pool.
The indoor pool is an absolute disgrace; the worst maintained facility that I’ve ever been at. No one circle swims and there are no designated lanes for different speeds. With 12 lanes it would solve a lot of problems!
The indoor pool is absolutely disgusting. Brown gunk on pool floor. Instead of cleaning it, they just add extra chlorine, which gives a horrible rash each time.

The facility has a very friendly Masters swim team with many practices each week. The outdoor pool is spectacular. Kickboards, pull buoys, and fins are available. The locker rooms are clean. There is soap in the showers but bring your lock. There is a senior discount and a 30 day pass is dirt cheap, i.e., if you're going to be swimming there more than three days, get the 30 day pass. Weight room, spin classes, etc., too!
[June, 2015]
We went here twice in April, 2017, expecting the worst. It was totally acceptable. The locker room was clean; the pool was clean; kickboards were available; and there are great mountain views through the windows. We went late on a Sunday afternoon and early on a Thursday afternoon, it was not busy.
