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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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

How to purchase a pass:
Go to https://www.gympass.com and select the YMCA at Republica to purchase a ticket. There, create an account, put in a credit card number, and buy the pass, which is then emailed to you. With pass in hand, go to the YMCA with $R60 for a basic medical exam, after which you will get a pass that allows you to swim.
It's a lot of hoops to jump through, but once you know what to do it's pretty quick and can be done in a short period of time. Barring jumping through the bureaucratic hoops for a SESC membership, this is the best option to swim if you're in Sao Paulo for less than a month. There are great pools in SP, they just don't cater to visitors or guests like most of the rest of the world.

Facility Reviews

The pool and facility is nice and kept clean. There are six lanes, but classes keep knocking out three or four of them throughout the day so make sure to check the pool schedule. Bring a small lock for the lockers, and flip flops encouraged. There is a nice cafeteria outside the men's locker room, and a well stocked commissary so you can buy locks, shampoo, whatever you need.
