Lane Swimming in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria: Community-Tested Places to Swim
Looking to squeeze in some proper lane swimming while you’re in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria? Whether you’re here for a few weeks or settling in longer, finding a pool where you can simply pay per session can feel surprisingly tricky. Luckily, our community members recently shared their favourite spots, along with tips you won’t find on Google Maps.
Here’s the full guide, based entirely on real experiences from swimmers in our Slack community.
🏊♂️ Club Natación Las Palmas
If you want a classic 50-metre outdoor pool without committing to a membership, this is your best bet.
Price: Single-session tickets from around 5.50€ on weekdays (slightly higher on weekends).
Tickets: Available at the pool office when it’s open (which can be unpredictable), or online after registering as a non-member.
Best time to go: Community swimmers say mornings on weekdays are your safest option for easy entry.
What swimmers say:
- Non-members typically have access between 09:00 and 15:00
- Facilities were renovated recently, including the 50m pool and changing rooms
- Lockers don’t have locks, so bring your own
- Some members report non-member access on weekends may be restricted, so it’s worth double-checking
- Water is warm, lanes are usually quiet, and on sunny days it feels like a little training paradise
If you enjoy proper lane swimming and want something straightforward, this one hits the sweet spot.

🏋️♀️ S3FIT Las Rehoyas (Gym + Pool Access)
If you’re staying in the city for a few weeks and want more flexibility, this option is great value.
Price: Around 35€ per month
Includes: Full gym access + swimming pool
Location: Not in the centre, but easy enough to reach if you don’t mind a short trip.
This isn’t a pay-per-session model, but the monthly pass is affordable and convenient if you’re planning to swim regularly.
💬 What the Community Loves About These Pools
From recent swimmer feedback:
- Bring a swimming cap. This is required in pools across the Canary Islands.
- Warm water and often pleasantly empty lanes make Club Natación a favourite.
- Check holiday schedules. For example, on holidays like 8 December, the pool operates with Sunday hours.
- Facilities vary. Club Natación can feel a bit worn around the edges in some areas, but the vibe, water temperature, and lane availability make up for it.
🧜♀️ Final Splash
If you’re only in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria for a short stay and want easy lane access without a monthly commitment, Club Natación Las Palmas is the most convenient. If you’re here a little longer and want a gym included, S3FIT Las Rehoyas offers solid value.
