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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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 pool is a 20 minute bus ride from (central) Okayama Station and is nestled in a residential area off a major urban artery. It's an older, basic facility. Staff are welcoming even with limited English. On a weeknight, half of the pool was taken up by a Masters group and a youth group, two lanes were devoted to water walking, and there was a slow and fast lane for lap swimming. (passing not allowed.) Even at 3-4 swimmers, there was plenty of room in this long-course pool. As is often the case in Japan, there was an hourly break when all swimmers had to leave the pool for 10 minutes. Coin lockers are provided but the¥ 100 coin is not returned. Shampoo and soap are not allowed in the showers.
[January, 2019]
Update: Still set up with lap lanes and a free zone for water-walking, swimming, and various water exercises. Still basic but pristine. Still required to exit the pool for 10 minutes every hour. The entry price is little changed, and you buy your entry ticket at the machine. You will need a swim cap and can buy one at the pool office or rent one for ¥240 or thereabouts. Bottled water is available for ¥140 yen. The others in the pool at midday on a weekday were mostly older adults and some school groups in the learning pool. There are lifeguards. Others in the pool were very welcoming. Music piped in is enjoyable.

The office staff are in no way equipped to deal with a non-Japanese speaker, at least not that I could determine. I speak some Japanese and was able to handle the process in that language without a problem.

This was a very pleasant break during travel. Thanks to Okayama Municipal Pool!
