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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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

The best swimming pool I know, very nice and clean. Facilities include sauna/Turkish bath, indoor/outdoor sunbathing (gardens). The are always a 'fast' and a 'medium' swimmer lane except during school time.
The pool is the best I have ever been to, excellent hot showers, two pools plus a diving pool and even a 'beach' for UV tanning. Parking is free for three hours, then you have to pay.

This is a very nice facility. Everyone speaks English. It’s a little complicated for those unfamiliar to get in, navigate the locker rooms, etc. The pool is fantastic, but it's a challenge to swim laps if you're not in one of the speed-designated areas. Though it is possible to swim without collisions, you must stay alert. Later evening is less crowded.

Remarkably clean, nice facility. The card system (also for the lockers) is very convenient (don't forget which one you used tho'). The price is very reasonable for an Olympic size pool. It's the best pool I've ever been to.

This facility is awesome - probably the best I have swum at.
It's worth mentioning that annual memberships are available; and there's also a Coque card that can be recharged and offers discounts that increase with the amount loaded onto them - from 5% to 15% on amounts starting at €100. Members and cardholders also get extended hours of opening compared to general public. And credits on the Coque card can be used at other facilities at the venue.

A truly great resource and, if you're travelling to Luxembourg on business and just want to fly in, have your swim, sleep, do your business and fly out, there's a 36-room hotel in the basement which is far cheaper than the city, gives easy access to the pool, and makes you feel like an Olympic athlete.

Parking is free for up to three hours. Take a ticket when you enter the parking lot and have it validated just before you give up your electronic wrist chip at the exit or at the security area. Lockers use a wrist-chip key; press the chip against round button on the locker, when you hear it click, it's locked; hold the chip buy the round button until it clicks to unlock.

This world-class, sparkling clean facility is a swimmer’s paradise. On the Monday I visited, the pool was in 50 meter configuration between noon and 2 PM. Four lanes were set up and labeled according to speed (in French); one lane was designated specifically for patrons using fins or snorkels. At 2 PM sharp, the lifeguards flipped the configuration to 25 meters; about a third of the pool was reserved for swim school and the rest was open swim without lane lines. Plenty of kickboards, buoys, and fins were available for use. The modern, clean changing rooms offered wall-mounted, adjustable height hair dryers and a swimsuit dryer. In addition to swim caps, swimmers can purchase clear or dark-tinted Speedo goggles at the front desk for 12€.

This is a very nice facility. It wasn't too crowded when I went on a Saturday afternoon. The 50-meter pool did not have wave dissipating lane lines in place and, as a result, was quite choppy. There were also no backstroke flags in either pool, and the color-changing lane lines are not reliable. The 25-meter pool has only four lanes and is too shallow at one end to allow for flip turns. Still, there was plenty of room for all.

The locker room features excellent hot water showers. Once you arrive, you put your shoes in a shoe locker, take a changing cabin (make sure to lock both sides using the special lever by the bench), change, then exit the cabin to the locker area to store your clothes.
