Beautiful facility, that is poorly maintained by staff and patrons. One of the best pool complexes available in Chennai with 3 pools. A 25m pool with half filled water for the beginners.

Best place to swim as part of a workout. Has 50m lanes, 8 in number. Can be used for training by professional swimmers as well. Water is maintained clean all the time. Can go for a run around the pool. They offer classes for beginners as well as advanced swimmers. Membership fees are very nominal, especially if you decide to go for more than a month. Even the visitors fee of 100rs is very cheap compared to other pools. They also have stands where you can do a stair climb workout, as well as a badminton court and gymnastics arena to train. Trainers are very professional and offer high quality training. Changing rooms and toilets are clean as well. They even sell goggles and caps at very cheap rates if you dont have one. Overall a top notch place for swimming

It is good place to learn swimming. Though you will have a feel that it is crowded, you will have value for your money, time and energy spent on the aquatic complex.Good trainers are there to teach swimming. Affordable fee, I suppose. Water quality is quite okay. Hygiene of the water pools are well within tolerable limits. One should be happy to know that it is functioning and within ones reach.

For MEN - Swim shorts and for WOMEN swimsuit. Better to wear GOGGLE and CAP.COURSE SLOTS will be displayed on board at entrance in advance. Monday will be Holiday.

There are 3 swimming pools. 1. Racing Pool 2. Learning Pool 3. Diving PoolDiving pool is not in use. Learning pool is 3.5 feet deep and 25m long. Racing pool is 7.5 feet deep and 50m long.Swimming Pool size is big. But it is worst in maintenance. Water is so dirty. Never ever go with your kids here until you want them to fall sick.There are many other swimming pools maintained well though they are small in size.

Quality and information needs to be improved. The trainers stand and train in empty air instead of getting into water. The cleanliness needs to be improved whole lot. However this is one of the cheapest option available in town for swimming with lot of chlorine in the water.

Well maintained swimming pool in chennai. They offer swimming training oftentimes. All payments are through demand draft as it is run by state government. They offer club membership for people with access to Swimming pools and Gym. This is one of the cheapest and best swimming pool membership. It has race pool, dive pool and warm pool. Water is changed often but more bleaching used on some days.

I have been swimming here for around 2 years now.Good place to learn swimming. Dont get deterred by the quality of water or rest rooms. May be you will fall sick once, but from there on, it is smooth ride. You will learn swimming very well from Stephen (if he happens to be your coach).There are people from different backgrounds you will meet in this pool and someone will inspire you to learn more, swim longer, faster etc.If you bring energy to the pool, you will go back with more enegy.Best place to train kids, Santhanam is a great teacher for kids.I wish I could write more.....Bottom line: Want to learn swimming go here. Want to complain about water, rest room or coaches - avoid this place

The Velachery Aquatic Complex consists of one 50 metre Olympic Standard Pool, one 25 Metre Warmup / Competition pool, one 30M depth Diving pool. The maintenance of pools is excellent but the maintenance of seating n Toilets is not up to mark. Needs proper cleaning regularly. Parking is sufficient. Coaches are very Good. LifeGuards are present whenever someone is in pool. Parking is adequate.

Please do not take your kid whose height is below 4 ft . The minimum height is 4 ft which is made by emptying 9 ft swimming pool by half level. The person at the counter wont tell you that. However I feel its a good place for those who are aspiring to be professional swimmer.Water quality not so good but better than many public swimming pools.

This a typical government run place in terms of maintenance... however for the amount of crowd that is coming in... they are doing a fair job. About coaching... I went for a crash course with this coach Stephen.. He is really good... He is one of the main reason why I took a membership in this place and started learning swimming properly... If u r looking for a very good coach and can adjust with OK facility this is the place...

Over all its good and well maintained. per hour 100 rs for guest user. Member ship costs 10000 per year and 3500 per month. dont ask me the logic. i to didnt understand. Pool is well maintained and dress changing room are just ok. It will be good if they change water twice a week because large number of public use it so water becomes dirty very soon. Thats the only con i will say.

₹100 for an hour. Make sure to enter the pool exactly at the beginning of each hour ( 4 pm or 5 pm or 6 pm ) cause if yu enter at 4:30 or 5:30 yu ll have to leave the pool exactly the beginning of the next hour that is 5 pm or 6 pm respectively. But surely worth the money.
