Although it's not a "drop-in" arrangement, strictly speaking, the club's UNO Pass system allows a minimum purchase of ten credits for ARS 1,900; a free swimmng session (nado libre) costs two credits, so at September, 2021 exchange rates, you could get two swims in for US$ 10.00 each or one for US$ 20.00. The one hang-up for this workaround is that there is a medical certification required, about which we know nothing.
Regarding the medical certification, our correspondent in Bahía Blanca advises that there are two kinds of examination that may be required:
•The most common is a revisación médica, a quick medical check, where a nurse checks your feet, hands, and hair for infections and lice. Pools usually require this once a month. It is very quick and done in the same facility. At UNO you can do it just before entering the pool, if there is a nurse available. The vast majority of pools in Argentina require this.
•The other is a certificado médico de aptitud física. A health certificate saying you are fit to participate in sports. Roughly half the pools in Argentina will require this type of certification on your first visit. In this case, you go to a doctor, who will perform an examination and write a certificate.

Facility Reviews
I swim here from time to time, when I have free time and want to swim. I use the "UNO Pass" system, in which one can buy credits on the internet and use those credits later to swim whenever one wants. I think this is the only pool that offers such flexibility in Bahía Blanca.
Inside this facility, there are two pools named "white" (blanca) and "blue" (azul). They are identical, I choose the one whose schedule fits mine better.
So far, I've only swum here on my own, without a trainer. So I don't know much about the coaches, however, they are always nice and tell me which lane I can use to swim on my own.
I think the chlorine level is normal, I've never had any problem, I don't smell anything weird, nothing different from the other pools. I mention this because some time ago some newspapers published news saying the chlorine level was too high and some people had health problems.
Finally, this facility is huge, it's easy to get lost inside.
