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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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

There are several prerequisites to purchasing a pass to swim in a municipal swimming pool in Istanbul:

The first requirement is that you must have an Istanbulkart (Istanbul card). The Istanbulkart is a multi-use card that can be used for transportation, as a debit card, and as an identity card. The cards can be purchased for transportation use anywhere, but to use it as an ID card or a debit card, it must be personalized with a photograph and your personal data. More information about the Istanbul Kart can be found on its website HERE. The site is conveniently available in both English and Turkish.

When you have an Istanbulkart, you then can go to any of the city's 23 municipal swimming pools to complete an application for membership valid for that particular location and have a medical evaluation there. If everything is 'up to snuff' you then pay the Ł165, which gets you twelve passes that must be used within two months. If you use them up, you can reload your account online.

Reservations are required to swim at Istanbul's municipal pools. Reservations can be made online HERE (This site is, unfortunately, in Turkish only and, since we don’t have the credentials to make a reservation, we are not able to help you with navigating that site.)

It should be noted that a membership at one facility does not get you membership valid at any of the other facilities. If you want to swim at two pools, you must have memberships at both of them and you must purchase two, separate, Ł165, 12-visit passes.

It should also be noted that unsupervised lap/lane/length swimming is not something that's done in Istanbul's municipal swimming pools. All sessions include an element of instruction.

As mentioned, there are 23 swimming pools in Istanbul's municipal system. They can be found on a map on the interactive map of municipal sports facilities HERE . To isolate the facilities with pools, use the filter line immediately above the map, captioned Filtrele, and select the last item on the drop-down list "Yüzme" ("Swimming").

Finally, did we mention that as of February 27, 2023, the Ł165 cost of 12 swims is equivalent to US$8.73?

As of this writing (February, 2023), we have not identified which of our listings are in the City of Istanbul's municipal system, but we intend to do so as promptly as we can.
