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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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 has two, painted stripes on the bottom, but they're not done in such a way as to divide the pool into two, equally spaced lanes; the two stripes are placed close to the pool walls, about a lane apart, so that a third lane could be added, which is apparently how the pool is sometimes set up.

Facility Reviews

This is a nice health club, very near the UN/Vienna International Center, underground, etc. so it's very convenient for UN visitors. The daily non-member rate is high, but the staff are nice and helpful.
I swam in this pool several times. It is pretty unpleasant and very small. At best, three or four people can swim in the pool at the same time. Plus, most of the times it is overcrowded with people who either do water aerobics (leaving no place for swimmers) or who swim very slowly and do not understand and/or embrace the concept of circle swimming.

I went from 3 to 4 on a Wednesday afternoon. It is a beautiful, three-lane pool with lane lines separating the lanes. I had a lane to myself so there were no issues with circle swimming. The odd thing about the pool is that the bottom and sides are metallic and there are no markings at the end to help with judging the timing for a turn. There's no time clock, either.
