Palm Springs Swim Center

March 2026. Great location for getting in a swim workout. Entry fee is reasonable compared to getting a day pass at a gym. The length of a lane is 25 yards. The pool has lots of lanes, one dedicated for walking. Most of the lanes were occupied when I got there on a Wednesday at 11 AM. The bathroom is not indoors, but it is covered, and has lockers (bring your own lock) and clean showers and toilets. The swimming pool area has a covered area with a some chairs. A lovely pool with a mountain backdrop.

Plenty of lanes and helpful staff. This East-coaster really enjoyed my mid-winter outdoor swims!

The Palm Springs pool water is crystal clear blue. They have lifeguards on hand and the medical staff is well-trained. It’s very clean, the shower areas are beautiful, and the water works for hot and cold. The personnel are very nice and willing to help with anything. They have clean trash cans and bathrooms. What more could you want from a pool? Love it!

Today my card was docked and I was unable to swim. Although several staff members were chatting in the office no one thought to forestall the chaos by organizing a line, facilitating lane sharing etc. Ever since the lanes were divided up from slow to fast, and today fast swimmers monopolized the slow lanes, it has become evident that the current management is modelling the swim center on high school sports. That means, however, that the majority of the taxpayers is not being served.

Great swim center with lengthy public swim hours. Pool is heated and the view is really great. Will definitely keep coming here when I am in Palm Springs, thanks for the great facility.
