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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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

In the first phase of a two-stage renovation project, competed in early 2020, the old 25m, outdoor diving pool was demolished and replaced with a new 50m, 8 lane, outdoor tank.
The third stage of the facility's renovations (we don't know what they did in the second stage) began in November 2023 and required closure of the indoor pools. You can read about the project HERE.
While the indoor pools are closed, the second outdoor pool is being configured as three tanks, one 25-meters, 8 lanes; one 20-meters, 7 lanes; and a 1.3m depth instructional area.

Facility Reviews

A very nice aquatic center - complete with flags, pace clocks, etc. I would recommend this pool to anyone for a serious swim or just a quick dip.
One of the best lap swimming experiences you can find. 50m outdoor pool, lane lines,swimmers that know how to circle, friendly Masters, and you can see the Med from the pool deck.
The 25m, indoor pool is busy and swimmers rate 7 on a scale of 10 for lap swim etiquette, but the lanes are not speed designated, so it's a bit squished.
There is a calendar online for lap swim hours; click on the "website" page, above and look for the Horaires d'ouverture and Ouvertures exceptionnelles on its website.
The facility has an odd but workable locker system with electronic keys, so no lock is needed. The showers are good.
All around, it's a decent swim, but it's better to go to Centre Aquatique Grand Bleu in Cannes.

I swam in the older, but still beautiful, 50 metre, outdoor pool on July 14, 2015. I expected Bastille Day holiday crowds, but still had fewer than three people to a lane. Circle swimming is the norm and at least six lanes were set up with lane ropes and clocks. Nice, cool water.
Where else can you look out over the Mediterranean Sea as you dry?
