Your Family’s Fun and Fitness Destination
The club for real people.
Solar Swim & Gym isn’t your average fitness club. We’re the club for real people of all sizes, ages, genders, and races. We’re a community and a place that welcomes everyone. The bonds of friendship begin here and last for decades.
But don’t take our word for it. Just ask around. We’ve been here since 1939 teaching thousands of children and generations of families in Antioch how to swim.
With our recent renovations, it’s easy to understand why our members love this place. When you’re in the Sun lying under a Palm tree with your friends and family close by, Solar Swim & Gym feels like a resort.
In today’s world, it’s easy to get distracted with electronic devices. Here is the opportunity to unplug. Reward yourself and take a break. Join us and lounge or play in the sparking pool with your kids. Tone up in the gym. Become an Aquacise Water Warrior. Learn how to play Pickle Ball. Teach your kid how to play basketball. Gather outside with your friends and family to BBQ and celebrate special times in your life.
Solar Swim & Gym is a community of friends where fitness is fun and becomes part of your family’s life at a price you can afford. Call us for a tour.
