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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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

The pool roof opens partially for full sunlight and fresh air.

The center also has a Facebook page.

Facility Reviews

This is a great facility with lots of open lanes. At $10.00, the price is steep but, as my wife said, "It's cheaper than a beer at Disney and you wouldn't hesitate to buy that." Just watch for the swim meets that close the center from time to time. Great staff and locker rooms.

Terrific pool! I visited in mid-afternoon on a fall Friday when swim teams were practicing in the main pool. I swam in the adjacent training pool that was a bit warmer but still good for a nice workout.

I swam here twice while in Orlando on business. I swam early - they open at 5 AM and go until 8 PM. The $5 visitor fee gives you two hours' access to the pool and gym. Most days the pool is set up for short-course (25-yards), but on Tuesday and Thursday they set up the pool for 50-meters with 8 lanes. If you are a visitor, you have to complete a registration process on your first day which takes about 10 minutes. It's a wonderful facility.

This is a fantastic pool. The water temperature in the 50-meter pool was 79.9ºF (26.6ºC) according to the digital display in the lobby. The pool is set up for short-course swimming on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and long-course swimming on Tuesday and Thursday (I’m not sure about the setup on Saturday, and it’s closed on Sunday). It wasn’t crowded at all when I was there from 5:45 – 7:15 AM for the three days I was there.

And at $5 drop-in this is a steal!
