If you’re anything like me (and we’ve decided at least two of you are) then searching for new lane reservation protocols and finding out which pools are currently open is about as fun as a hole in your boot in a torrential downpour. As exhausting as calling around and going from website to website can be, we’ve put together a list of all* open pools in our surrounding areas so you don’t have to dig any further on your own!

Mostly every open pool currently requires a reservation/advanced booking, so make sure to check out their websites for more detailed information. The name of each pool listed below links you to that pool’s website, so just click on a pool name to get to their website for more info on reservations and lane rentals!

*I’m sure there are some open pools that aren’t on this list, so if you have some info we don’t please email us at britany@theswimbox.com to let us know so we can add them to our list!
