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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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 club also has an outdoor, seasonal pool ,approximately 45f x 25f; it's unstriped and appears to be quite shallow throughout.

Facility Reviews

The gym, itself, is very nice; the pool, however, is very shallow. The posted depths are 4' and 3' (at the shallow side), but the water was at least 3" lower than that, leaving the shallow side at 2.75' in depth. That made it unsuitable or even dangerous to seriously swim laps. My fingertips were touching the bottom during freestyle.

It's a shame, because the facility is very nice, with good water temperature and clean water. Pace clocks, pool buoys, and kickboards are available for use.

The previous reviewer is correct about the posted depths, but when I went today the pool was full to the edge, so it was less of an issue than if it wasn't all the way full. The shallow end is just deep enough for a flip turn (I'm 6'2") - so be aware if the water level drops it may indeed be a problem. That aside, it's a really nice pool.

They've now got a booking system in place, so you have to book a specific lane for a specific period of time (15-60 minutes - trying to figure out how to do longer!). This is good because you always have the lane to yourself, but also a bit of a shame as two people in a 25y lane isn't really an issue.

Three of the six lanes were in use when I went at 3 PM on a December Saturday. The woman I spoke with for the tour said it's busier in the evenings than in the mornings during the week.
