About

World-class aquatics center hosting competitive swimming events and offering programs for youth and adults.

All pools at the Selby Aquatic Center are heated and cooled to ensure optimal conditions for training and competition year-round. While specific temperature ranges are not publicly detailed, they are consistently maintained for athlete performance and comfort.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The swimming facility is largely praised as excellent and the best in Sarasota, featuring an outdoor setup with both a 50m and a 25-yard saltwater pool maintained at 78F year-round, with a third pool planned. Reviewers appreciate the clean water, warm showers, lockers, ample seating, and shade, making it a wonderful place for families and kids. Programs like Swim Masters and open swim are available with flexible payment options. However, one customer expressed extreme dissatisfaction with a swim fit class, citing poor activity quality and a rigid, unhelpful refund policy after their son was unable to participate fully due to a bleeding nose, resulting in a loss of $400 and a feeling of unfair treatment.

Excellent outdoor facility with two pools for lane swimming including a 50 m pool. 6 lanes 25 yards long and 8 lanes 50 m long. Soon, there will be a third pool. Sea water, clean, 78F year around water temperature. Warm showers and lockers. Excellent programs including Swim Masters in the morning plus open swim Monday through Saturday 11:00-1:00 for $8 each time or $75 per month. There is no better swimming facility in Sarasota.

I am very upset with this place. I purchase swim fit class for my son, but after 3 classes I saw that this is very poor activity and my son really did not want to go there. Also on these 3 lessons he was on the bench because of the bleeding nose, so I requested a refund, because it was no sense to spend money on something which did not work. Unfortunately the manager said that there is no way to get a refund, because they don't care if you want or don't want to attend, if you like or don't like the way they teaching, so I lost $400 for nothing. Very unfair!
