Due to the overwhelming interest in lap swim the following changes have been made:

-Reservations are required for lap swimming. Reservations can be made online up to 3 days in advance starting at 7 a.m. Phone reservations can be made on the same day only starting at 10:30 a.m and Saturdays at 8:45 am. Only 2 lanes will be open for phone in/same day reservations.

-Drop ins are strongly discouraged, any available drop in lanes will be released 15 minutes after the reservation start time if the person reserving the lane is a no show. This would result in a maximum of 30 min of swim time for any drop in customers.

-Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance in person, over the phone or via email. Cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance will still be charged for a swim.

Please note, City Programming has started this week at the Swim Center and lap lanes are greatly reduced after 3 p.m. Tuesday – Friday. Programming will continue to expand over the coming weeks as the phased reopening of the Swim Center continues.

Hello Swimmers,

We hope you are all staying safe and healthy. We have received a large amount of questions regarding reservations and we want to address these questions now in hopes of making the reservation process smoother once the Swim Center is open.

All swimmers will need a current and active swim pass to make a reservation. All reservations will also need account to make a reservation – if you have a swim pass you already have an account ,please do not create another account. To access your account you will need the email address you used to purchase your swim pass. Please enter this email address and then select “Forgot Password” and follow the prompts- this will then register the current pass you already have and connect it with your account.

If you know you have a swim pass with us but do not know what email you used please DO NOT CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT, please email Aquatics.mailbox@smgov.net . It will help us assist you quicker if you can provide us with the account holder name and activity passport/swim pass number. If you do not have your activity passport, just email us with your first/last name and DOB. We can then check your account and give you as much information for your account as possible, including resetting your password.

Again, if you already have a swim pass, or have ever held a swim pass or registered for a program with the City, please DO NOT CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT. Please email us directly for assistance, we are checking emails daily and will respond within 1 business day.

Thank you for patience and understanding,

Santa Monica Swim Center

Unfortunately, due to the increase in COVID-19 cases, the Santa Monica Swim Center will remain closed for approximately two weeks. We are excited to welcome back all swimmers when it is safer to do so. All reservations for lap swimming have been cancelled and no Swim Passes have been charged. Please continue to check our website and Facebook for the most up to date information.

ATTENTION: Online lane reservations have been temporarily removed as we work through some technical difficulties. We are working hard to resolve this issue as quickly as possible and once we have done so will reactivate online reservations. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this problem.

Please note: If you have already made a reservation for one person your reservation will be honored Tuesday and Wednesday. However, if you have made multiple reservations per day you will be contacted by City staff shortly and your reservation will be adjusted. There is only one reservation per person per day and you must have a current Swim Pass to make a reservation. Multiple reservations and reservations made without having a Swim Pass will not be honored.

Thank you,

Santa Monica Community Aquatics Staff
