simpsca Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Is the swimming pool in Riberas still open? Anyone know the days and hours and how much it costs? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstone Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Yes, it is still open. I have the Fact Sheet from 2011 and it is still the same. PM me and send me your email address and I will snap a pic and send it to you. I have started the aerobics + free swim and I do enjoy it. The pool is deep, so I don't get chilled, and it is sufficiently warm that I don't have muscle aches. Didn't make it this morning, however...

Alfa Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 The annual subscription is 900pesos for a family and 350per month per person for swimming twice a week. Usually we are the only ones in the pool when we swim at 1300 hrs on Tuesday and Thursdays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeb Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I think that is expensive, more than we paid in Texas for a full gym membership including classes and indoor pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puro guero Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Zeb, What full gym membership with indoor pool costs less than $21 per month ? I'd like to sign up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeb Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 I think that is expensive, more than we paid in Texas for a full gym membership including classes and indoor pool. Regarding the place in Riberas: When we were there, we were given a price sheet which I no longer have. This was within the last thirty days. There was a yearly membership fee as well as the monthly fee. All you got was the pool class. It came to around $65 a month, I believe. It as really quite a shock. We paid around $25.00 a month/per person at 24-Hour Fitness for full privileges at almost all their locations, which did include all the classes, all equipment, no hour limits, and heated pool with no extra fees.

Mainecoons Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 He's right, really nice gyms are dirt cheap here in Arlington, TX as well. They are far larger with many times the membership which is how they can deliver so much for a lot less than the gyms Lakeside. They take advantage of economy of scale Even better, we can use our Silver Sneakers benefit that goes with our Medicare supplemental at the local 24 hour fitness. This gym is really something, very large pool, steam room, sauna, whirlpool, every kind of fitness equipment imaginable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 I think that is expensive, more than we paid in Texas for a full gym membership including classes and indoor pool. But a car mechanic's shop rate in the US is north of $95/hr and a mechanic at Lakeside is peanuts. My point is... why compare the rates between the two countries? Will one not go to the pool in Riberas because it is more expensive with less services than one NOB? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdlngton Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 What are the alternatives locally to the pool in Riberas if one wants to do water aerobics and swim laps, especially year round? Many of the outdoor pools aren't good alternatives in the cooler months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also had the benefit of Silver Sneakers for one of us the previous year as it was a benefit of that particular insurance, which meant we had one membership at zero additional cost.

RVGRINGO Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Silver Sneakers is popular and my wife uses it. She is even playing racquetball now. However, her opponent fell yesterday and broke her arm......all part of Medicare‘s wellness program. Exercise is good for you? Zeb, you may find a heated pool, such as the one at the hotel in Chapala just a block or two west of the main intersection on the way to Ajijic.

It's a matter of value for what you pay. Everyone's perception is different. Also, it is indoors, which is a not an option as the chlorine inhalation has caused lung infections.

Nicolas Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 I haven't been to the Riberas pool in the past year, but the pool is nice and clean and, depending when you choose to swim, you can have the entire pool to yourself. Unfortunately, you have to choose a consistent swim time and day(s) and can not deviate from that schedule. I think they are closed from 2:00 - 4:00 pm, but open until 9:00 pm.

Jon Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Anyone know how I can find out where this swimming pool is located in Riberas. Map or address, Please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 It is right beside S&S Auto on the highway. Either just past the 711 on the mountain side when travelling west or just before the 711 on the mountain side if travelling east. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
