Located in the heart of Colombo’s sporting hub, the CCC (Colombo Cricket Club) Swimming Pool is one of the most established 25m pools in the city. Frequently used by local swimming academies and schools, it offers a solid environment for kids to move from basic water confidence to stroke refinement.
Why It’s Great for Kids
The pool is well-maintained and has a dedicated shallow area for younger learners. Because it is part of a sports club, it feels less like a commercial gym and more like a community hub. Parents can enjoy a coffee at the nearby club cafe while watching lessons.
Swimming Lessons at CCC
While the club itself has a membership model, several independent swim coaches and academies operate out of the CCC pool. It’s best to visit in the late afternoon (between 3:00pm - 5:30pm) to see the different coaches in action and find a fit for your child.
Parent Tips
- Parking: Parking is available inside the CCC grounds but can be tight during major cricket matches or events.
- Sun Protection: The pool is outdoor and gets direct sun. Afternoon sessions are best for avoiding the midday heat.
- Post-Swim: The CCC cafe is a local favorite for quick snacks after a training session.
