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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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 shallow kids’ pool connected to the main pool, it varies from ~1f to ~3f depth. There is a large hot tub in the pool area and steam rooms in the changing areas. The pool is usually divided into a 2 or 3 lane, lane swimming section (fast/medium/slow), with the rest used for public swim and classes. The change rooms have full-size lockers (bring your own lock). The pool’s schedule is posted on the website (link above).

Facility Reviews

This is a very nice, clean, low-use facility very close to downtown area and within walking distance to many hotels. The staff is friendly, the pool and change rooms are very clean, and lockers are always available.

There is little lane swimming on weekends but there's lots on the week-days. The schedule is different every day so be sure to check the schedule online. During mid-morning swims there are typically three double lanes. I often have my own lane. At noon it picks up to two or three people per double lane and lifeguards have told me that early morning swims might see ten people in the pool.

Kickboards and other training devices are available. Locks and towels are available to rent if you forget your own.

It was very nice to find this place after 30 years swimming in other pools in Edmonton.
