Roma Club Aquatic & Fitness

The standard options are for 1, 3, 6, or 12-month memberships, with different price levels for 2 (minimum), 3, or 5-day pool access/week. There are no limits on other gym use. I paid MXP 1,430 [approximately US$75) for 1 month, with two pool admissions per week in August, 2024.

I agree with most of the 2019 comments. The pool felt cool (in a good way for lap swimming) but I didn’t get a temperature reading. So, the temperature may be inconsistent, or they fixed the too-warm issue.

Swim caps are mandatory, and available for sale on site. Flip flops (footwear for poolside) are also required. Bring your own soap, shampoo, and towel.

Mandatory fitness certification (at least mandatory for this old man), available in 10 minutes for 60 pesos at nearby pharmacy. You'll also need to provide a photo for a pool pass. The smallest size “infantil”, can be purchased for 20 pesos from an office supply across the street. They’re letting me slide first couple visits.

Staff is nice, mostly getting by with my weak Spanish, few English speakers.

This is the only lap pool I could find in the Condessa and Roma neighborhoods. The staff is friendly and there are some English speakers. The locker rooms are clean. I brought my own towel and lock, but those can be rented there on a daily basis.

Lap swimming sessions are by the hour, beginning on the hour. Memberships provide three or five days of swimming per week, tracked on a little card the pool attendant initials when you swim.

The water is overly warm for vigorous lap swimming. The shallow end is too shallow for me to do flip turns. The lanes were not crowded when I swam late mornings through mid-afternoon.
