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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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 original, six-lane, Hollywood Aquatics Center Pool closed in May, 2020, was demolished, and replaced by a new eight-lane pool and a second pool for the kickers, splashers, and aquacizers.
A review we had received about the old pool in February, 2014, said: "Outdoors, fresh air, trees, across the street from the Pacific Design Center and its notable architecture." It's not likely that any of that has changed with the new pool, but we thought the mix of dates might have been confusing.

Facility Reviews

An excellent facility with super friendly and helpful staff. And a bargain for this 55-year-old who is considered a "senior" here! ($5 for a 30-day pass!) The pool itself is new, not overheated, and not very crowded after the morning rush. Kickboards and pull buoys are available.

As of November 2022, swimmers need to reserve a 60-minute lap swim time slot in advance, walk-ins are accepted on a space available basis. Once your time slot is open, you are buzzed into the pool area. To save time, most swimmers arrive with suits on underneath sweats and parkas, undress on deck, and hit the water; locker rooms are one floor down and include showers (bring your own lock).

The pool is outdoors on the fifth-floor roof of a municipal complex that includes a park, public library, city hall offices, and a parking garage. The view from the fifth floor is amazing. Waves of cooking odors from nearby restaurants wash over the pool occasionally, so don't be surprised if you smell food during your warmup!

The parking garage is super convenient and don't forget to validate your parking ticket on the way out.
