About
Aquatic center, featuring an Olympic pool, a training pool and a competition pool.
The pools at the Greensboro Aquatic Center are maintained at specific temperatures: the 50-meter competition pool is typically kept between 79-80°F (26-27°C), the warm-up/therapy pool is warmer at approximately 82-84°F (28-29°C), and the diving well usually ranges from 80-82°F (27-28°C).
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The Greensboro Aquatic Center (GAC) is highly regarded as an excellent and well-organized swimming facility, particularly for competitive events, offering clean pools, smooth operations, and friendly staff. Its competition and training pools are frequently praised. However, a significant concern for public members is the severely limited access to lap swimming, especially during extensive competition seasons and due to restricted daily hours (often unavailable before 8 AM, after 4 PM, hardly on Saturdays, and closed Sundays). This limited access leads some to question the value of a membership for casual swimmers. While staff are generally polite and helpful, and private lessons receive positive mentions, some find the locker rooms unappealing.

We attended NCAA tournament at GAC recently. It is probably the best swimming facility we have ever been. The tournament was well organized and everything went smoothly including parking and ticketing.

Awesome facility. Had a chance to workout and swim in the competition pool of which is rare. Facility is very clean, organized and friendly staff. Look forward to visiting again soon.

It's a great facility but if you're a member of the public (not an athlete) you will not be able to access lap swimming in this facility for months at a time during competition seasons. Check out their "Events" page before paying for a membership. From May - August of 2025, I paid $180. And if you look at their events list: 5/2-4: Event 5/9-10: Event 5/16-18: Event 6/6-8: Event 6/13-15: Event 6/19-22: Event 6/26-29: Event 7/6: Event 7/10-12: Event 7/13: Event 7/15: Event 7/17-20: Event 7/23-26: Event That means I paid $180 to have 40 potential days to lap swim in the past 90. Also, lap swimming is largely unavailable to the public before 8AM and after 4PM, hardly available Saturday, and always closed Sunday. So hopefully you have a job like me where I can take a lunch break to swim - otherwise, it's just not worth it to have a membership here as a novice swimmer.

I love the Greensboro Aquatic Center and the pool is amazing and the staff is very polite and helpful. I am in town for business and I look forward to swimming in this pool. They also accept silver sneakers. So if your in town definitely stop by and go for a swim and you will be glad that you did

It's cute. I appreciate the training pool by having shallow and deep options available that's a full 25 yards each way. The locker rooms are ewww but I'm an old lady. Shout out to private lessons! Ms. Skye is a real MVP and taught me how to swim again after an accident in my youth.
