    I'll try to write a comprehensive tourist's guide to the pool: This pool is mostly used by the locals and they are at different points on their fitness journey. Don't worry if you're not an Olympian. It's 25m long and comprises of 8 lanes. The shallow end is 1.2m and the deep end is 1.5m. It's an indoor pool with floor-to-ceiling glass wall on one side and it's beautiful when the sun shines in. There is also a small children's pool. Before you head down, please have 1. A swimming cap 2. A small padlock for the lockers When to go down: The least busy time to head down (according to their website) is around 0900-1200H and 1400-1630H on weekdays, and 0800-1000H for Saturdays. I was generally there during those periods but by no means it guarantees a free lane because they run classes there and they do take up a few lanes. Sharing a lane is not a problem: just decide with the other person if you want to split the lane or do a circular style. At the reception: It helps to learn some basic phrases in Portuguese. A greeting is a good starting point. I spoke to the lady at the reception in mangled Portuguese but she warmed up to me eventually after a few visits. Per entry cost is €10. Both card and cash are accepted. There is a far cheaper membership option but one needs a national ID and a local bank account. In the change room: The infrastructure is a little dated but still very functional. Just choose any locker that is unoccupied. This is where your little padlock comes in. Swimwear: For guys, I've seen Speedos, boxer style and longer above-knee trunks. No, I didn't observe any board shorts For ladies, I've only seen one-piece swimsuits Swimming adjuncts: I've observed short fins, snorkles, hand paddles, swim boards and pool buoys being used I hope that covers most of the common enquiries and that this lengthy review is helpful.

    I had forgotten the feeling you get from frequenting a private club. It meant that the entry was very expensive. This one looks expansive but I only used the pool. I had my own lane, but the pool was well attended. The change rooms could be a bit cleaner looking in my opinion. But a nice club established in 1919, in the middle of Lisbon.

    €10 no hassle drop in fee. Just pay and go. Change rooms are a little sad but the pool is a solid 25 m and not busy the 2 times I went. Good for a quick informal lane swim

    I was embarrassed to start learning to swim due to my age and the Club was the perfect choice to start this adventure! I'm loving everything! Teachers, facilities, location...a find in the middle of Lisbon :) I highly recommend it!

    Rating mostly on accessibility and information on price, opening hours in advance, as i did not get in 😅 I called them a few times before they picked up, but finally managed to connect with someone who told me that they are open from 8-20 in august, and confirmed this in response to my question that on their webpage they have different hours. As per the paper on the door, they are open/last entry is til 19:30. And more importantly, only on weekdays in august! So my 4th try at a pool in lisbon in august was a bust again 😅 And yes, multiple locals confirmed that 10eur sounds to be way above the average in lisbon, which i would have been ok with to finally have a proper swim 😅 Parking: there seems to be a parking complex right next to this sport complex, and also some additional parking spots out front. Bus: i got here by the 727 which drops you off like 2min walk away.

    Excellent pool that allows walk ins for a fee of 10 EUR with no additional paperwork. Required are flip flops, cap, and tight swimwear (briefs, trunks, one piece for women) no board shorts. Bring your own padlock (small) and you will be able to use free lockers. Changing rooms are clean and large, pool has 8 lanes and was not crowded at all (at 3 pm on a week day), water is crystal clear and at a good temperature. No kids in main pool since there is a separate pool for them. This is a proper swimming pool, no hanging out or chat lane. The 10 EUR give you access to pool and changing rooms for 3 hours in off peak hours and for 1 hour on peak hours (after business hours).

    Nice small trendy club in the center of Lisbon great indoor swimming pool has great padel courts and most important of all good parking lot and snack bar.

  • 4/5 Simone M. 6 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    Not the cleanest, but functional swimming pool with a lot of light and very nice personnel. Entrance fee for non-members is €10,- There is also a monthly pass for around €28,- which allows 5 visits. Bring a small lock for the lockers! Bathing cap might be obligatory (at least almost everyone had one) There are designated lanes you can use during training classes (Saturday morning was probably not the smartest time to go swimming, but it still worked out well and my lane wasn't too crowded) Opening hours: mo-fr 7:00-22:00 Sa 8:00-19:00 / So and holidays: 9:00-14:00

    Great pool facilities. A tad expensive for a drop in but there are many lanes available to use.

    Went as a visitor as in holiday. 10eueo I felt is bit too much just to use gym. But if you are a freak gymmer then you can use the pass multiple times. They have swim pool as well. Since I don't swim didn't feel 10euro justice. Gym very small. But very clean and neat. And all regular equipment available

    Good public lap pool. Clean. Costs 10eu/visit or 50eu to join and they deduct from your Portugal bank acct (if you have one) out of a 25eu auto filling deposit, depending on the time of day.

    Perfect! Water température is just right. Every time I went there was just a few swimmers so lots of space, even a full line just for me. Staff is helpful. Very clean.

    Lovely pool I like the atmosphere and it was old but clean. The pool itself was very clean with nice daylight. 10 euro is expensive though.

  • 5/5 Anne-Marie S. 6 months ago on Google • 9 reviews
    25m pool that is open for swimming lanes (cap is obligatory). We were around 11 and it seems they have lanes available all day to train on your own. Changing rooms are slightly outdated, but the swimming pool is fine.

    Good basketball court but terrible players, they have played six games in a tournament with 6 defeats.

  • 5/5 Simon R. 4 years ago on Google
    Looks great and in a really good location. Friendly reception, amenities good and pool excellent; not busy (at 10.00), plenty of sunlight and good prices. Just want to know if "Speedos" are okay!

  • 2/5 Cheeky M. 5 years ago on Google
    Gym not open on a Sunday sadly. No coffee or cleaning of the tables at the cafe on Sunday either. Would be good for a premium gym to have a water cooler and some lockers upstairs for clients convenience. Gym staff during the week are friendly and the workout space is clean. Morning reception not very helpful usually.

😐 Big gym, very cheap, especially when we want to swim only (approx 2€) but the line is wayyyyy too long when we want to enter without the monthly subscription.

😐 Very good location, and it's an okay gym. If we are talking about gym facilities, this place is fine. It has a great pool zone, but what bothers me is that the gym is always crowded. It doesn't matter the weekday or the time the place will always be crowded, so it can be very difficult for beginner...

😠 The gym looks nice, it is fairly well equipped with reasonable prices, this is why it is very overcrowded, and this is probably why they do not care about their clients.
