Indoor Pool: Swift Creek YMCA

If you’re looking for a fun few hours for the kids, be sure to check out the schedule for the indoor swimming pool! This is such a nice facility, and it really makes it easy on caregivers to keep kids safe.

When my kids were very young, 4 and 1, playing at the water table and splash pad alone would completely wear them out. Now, we usually do a mix of those and the pool itself.

Swift Creek YMCA Indoor Pool

I LOVE the zero entry pool, and the rope designating the 3 ft. area. It’s so nice to have a visual point to tell your kids where they can/can’t go. There’s a fun slide (neither of my kids have done it!), and lap lanes as well. The family locker room (has a nursing room!!!) leads directly to the pool.

When outdoor pool season is over, this is a great place to remind children about pool rules (“walking feet”,”this is your safe area,” etc) and reinforce swimming skills from last summer.

Don’t forget to add to your adventure: you can play at the playground out front, and snack at the picnic tables outside, or eat at the area in the lobby.

Safety notes: There’s a barrier on the splash pad, but it doesn’t go all the way back. Your kids are safe, but with littles say, “Keep your feet on the blue floor”. Lifejackets in kid sizes are available in the pool area. The lifeguards won’t turn the splash pad on during swim lessons or if only one guard is on duty.

The indoor pool is included with your YMCA membership. If you’re not ready to join, consider visiting with a friend as their guest for a day.
