We're tracking 1120 gyms with a pool across the country! So, which locations can you swim at?
Generally, you get what you pay for. That means gym chains with monthly membership costs (around $30-$40 and up) will get you access to a pool. That's your LA Fitness, 24 Hour Fitness, Esporta and City Sports. Same goes for higher end boutique and country club fitness centers like Equinox, Life Time and others: these spots may have 1, 2 or even 3 pools. More inexpensive gyms ($20 monthly and below) like Planet Fitness and Anytime Fitness focus on other fitness amenities, pools not being one of them.
Pools require huge amounts of space, which many gyms can’t accommodate due to their size limitations or building layout.
The maintenance costs for pools, including cleaning, heating, and equipment, are often too high for many gyms to justify. Don't forget about repairs and chemicals!
Water facilities demand additional infrastructure, like locker rooms, showers, and filtration systems, which may not align with the gym’s priorities or budget.

We picked these gym chains because of their abundance of aqua amenities, or their stellar track records for having clean facilities.
Plenty of aqua spots: California folks, you have plenty of options like 24 Hour Fitness, LA Fitness and Chuze.
Family friendly: Arizona, Nevada, Texas and Utah: EoS offers up around 75 locations where you can swim laps or enjoy an aqua group fitness class.
Colorado and Utah are doing it right: Chains like VASA fitness have indoor swimming so the cold can't stop you from diving in.

Benefits of gyms with pools
Since only a handful of gym chains offer pools, we see it as a key separator as an offering to their members. They absolutely understand the benefits of pools:
Build strength: Water resistance turns every stroke into a strength-building exercise, helping to tone and develop muscles. Many gyms even offer water-based group fitness classes to take your workout to the next level. For example, LA Fitness and Chuze fitness feature Aqua Fit.
Boost endurance: Regular swimming improves endurance by training your body to use oxygen more efficiently. Ever watched an aqua Zumba class? It’s a full-on cardio workout disguised as dance in the water.
Relax and unwind: The soothing nature of water creates a calming environment, reducing stress and promoting mental well-being. Early morning swims in a heated pool? That’s pure serenity.
