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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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

Edit
We had this pool listed as 20 meters long for nine years, but a swimmer who visited the club told us us the correct length is actually 25 yards. Shortly thereafter, a member wrote to tell us it's "about 23 yards".We believe we finally got it right at 20y.

Facility Reviews

The pool has lines painted but no lane dividers; it feels like an open water swim after a while. The facility has the feel of a poorly maintained YMCA but is considered a high end workout facility.
For those stuck in a hotel downtown who need to get their gills wet, it's probably better than nothing. Visitors may also want to take along work out clothes. The place could use new paint, but they have lots of Nautilus machines, bicycles, and a rowing machine, all included.
Super convenient location for the French Quarter. The facility is gorgeous: an old mansion filled with exercise equipment, an elegant reading room, and a bar. The pool is surrounded by pillars and beautiful old marble floor tile. Pool itself is basic, made of concrete and with high walls that make it wavy, even if you're the only one in the pool. Of the five marked lanes, only two are good choices, but when I was there, only one other swimmer was present. The pool closes occasionally for aqua classes in afternoon/evening: call ahead to check the schedule. Amenities included towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash in shower, suit spinner, sauna, and steam room (there is no hot tub).

It's an eccentric space but pretty much the only game in downtown NOLA for visitors, and perfectly adequate. There's even a sense that Tennessee Williams might be swimming in the next lane.
