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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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

This is an excellent place to swim laps, and probably one of the best pools I visited in Japan. Although it’s located outside of the central part of town, it’s easily accessible via Buses 146 and 147. The building is on the older side, but very well maintained. There are three pools in this complex, including the 50m pool where I swam.

Swim passes are purchased from a vending machine inside (cash only). You then leave your shoes at the entrance of the locker rooms and can use a locker for a refundable ¥100. Upon exiting the locker room, turn left and walk down the long hallway to find the 50m pool and one of the 25m pools.

I swam here in the mid-mornings and most of the lanes had only one or two people. There didn’t seem to be any lane designation based on speed, though the faster swimmers appeared to be in the central lanes. The water was crystal-clear, and a comfortable temperature. Overall, it’s a great place to swim!
