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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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

NOTE: The pool is officially closed from April through October, but regular (adult) patrons and cold water swimmers are permitted to use the pool through the colder months.
When we contacted the centre to update this listing in mid-April, 2019, the water temperature was 23.5ºC (74.3ºF).
There is also a 20m, unstriped, learner pool at the centre; it is open only during the pool's regular season.

Facility Reviews

A rare find - open air, clean and usually not crowded. I have often swum with the pool totally to myself. Underwater clarity is often 50m plus. Open at 6 A.M. in summer is great! Although officially closed June - Sept. (now May - Oct. [Eds.]) the manager is obliging and I swim this pool all year round (yes, winter included) - water temp varies from about 26ºC. in summer to max low of 14ºC. in winter. Hot showers are NOT available in winter. For winter swims use a cap and swim lane 4, closest to the warm water outlets.
