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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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

The facility also has: A 1,000 sq.ft., 4f - 4½f depth, indoor, 85º - 87ºF, leisure pool. A 25y, 12 lane, 3½f - 4½f depth, outdoor, 80º - 82ºF lap pool.

And a 20 person, 3½f depth, outdoor, 102º - 104º spa pool. All of the center's pools are chlorine sanitized. We don't know whether any of the outdoor pools operates for more than just the summer season.
Non-students must be sponsored by a student or paying member of the faculty or staff; finding a "sponsor" is, apparently, not a major problem. There is a $10.00 guest fee.
Drop-in, open swims on the first and third Sundays of the month. Lap swim and Masters swimming programs are offered during before and after school hours daily, but prepaid registration for several months is required. [August, 2016]

Facility Reviews

It was like a country club! Indoor and outdoor pools. Multi-use weight room, courts, cardio-room, all new-ish equipment, etc... The outdoor pool had great music on an awesome speaker system and was well landscaped, with a huge hot tub, and chaise lounges. All for $10! (You have to ask a student to "sponsor you in" which apparently is no problem.) I can't say enough about this facility - it's worth a trip to Austin, just to use it (that and the music!)
