Piletas del Nahuel

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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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

This is a fine pool with many idiosyncratic details. The pool is glazed tile with high ends offering no handholds, but a series of eyebolts are in place with a rope running through, so one can more or less hang on. Backstroke flags were in place. A swim cap ("gorra") is required. The pool self-reports a water temperature of 30ºC, but it was a lot closer to 28ºC, when I was there, and, although I accepted the turbidity of the water, others might object.

There are lockers, tiny cubes, some of which have no locks, and only a subset of these will accept your lock. Some locked lockers have old, rusty locks on them that have not been used for a very long time indeed. Bring your own soap and towel.

There is a much smaller pool there, whose use(s) I did not learn, as I never saw anyone in it. There are also a snack bar, coffee bar, and liquor bar in the waiting area.

People were friendly: a woman changed lanes, so I would have a lane to myself, when the lifeguard was explaining mandatory circle-swimming in shared lanes to me.
