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For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us.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

The facility is undergoing a C$10.5 million renovation. Although the renovation site indicates an expected March, 2023, just above that forecast there's a section that reads:
"Construction for Peter Hemingway Rehabilitation Phase 1 has reached 10% completion. The project has discovered additional deficiencies during the demolition phase and are in discussions to best assess next steps and a recommendation to proceed. This has the potential to delay the completion date of Phase 1 from Q1 2023 to Q2/Q3 2023 if Phase 2 is not funded as part of the 2023-26 Capital Budget." [September, 2022]

Facility Reviews

A very nice pool to swim in. It has the best pool schedule in Edmonton and is typically opened on statutory holidays when other pools can be closed. The men's change rooms must be the filthiest change rooms in the city; partly due to the high use that the building gets, but also due to lack of cleaning. It pays to check the schedule before you go as occasionally swim meets and water polo tournaments close the pool for recreational swimming.
It's a nice pool. They usually have three or four lanes set up in long course configuration all day. Parking is limited.
