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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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

Using the locker room: On paying at the reception desk, you will receive a credit card size piece of plastic. Pass through the turnstile by the reception desk and head to the changing area directly behind. Enter one of the cubicles and change into your swimming kit. Leave the cubicle by its second door, directly opposite the one that you entered from. You will then find yourself in the locker room. Leave your day clothes in a locker, inserting the credit card sized piece of plastic into the rear of the lock to activate the key locking system.

Getting from the locker room to the pool: The building is somewhat labyrinthine and all of the direction signs are in Slovenian, so ask for directions to the Olympic Pool. This won't present a problem because just about everyone you will meet can speak functional English or German or both.

At the pool: Finding an Olympic-sized pool in a town with a population of 88,000 is rare, to say the least! Once you have found your way through the process outlined above you will enjoy yourself in what is a great facility. On my visit the shallow end was being used for instruction so it was necessary to lap swim across the 25 metre width at the deep end. Although lane ropes had not been placed there were sufficiently few swimmers (all well disciplined) to allow everyone to have a marked cross lane to themselves.

Leaving the pool: You will need the credit card sized piece of plastic to operate the turnstile to leave the complex. This will confirm that you have not overstayed the 1 hour 30 minutes for which you have paid.

It is a great facility and used for competitions. I swam here twice at lunchtime, when the entry fee is €3.00 Euros (1 - 3 PM). They had lanes throughout the pool, but no speeds assigned to them. As the facility was very empty, this was not a problem. The changing rooms and showers are both unisex.
