Swimming Pools In The Woodlands

There are fourteen pools and aquatic facilities located throughout The Woodlands, the most recent being the Wendtwoods swimming pool and park in the Village of Creekside Park, which opened early summer 2013. Each of them offer a variety of water-based fun and relaxation, sure to help you keep your cool in the hot Texas summer. Enjoy everything from water-spray at either of the three different splashpads and spraygrounds, to diving and the water slides or drifting along the lazy river at the Rob Fleming Aquatic Center in the Village of Creekside Park. Every Village in The Woodlands has at least one place to swim, many have more than one - and there will likely be more pools and aquatic facilities in The Woodlands in the future.

The Woodlands is also home to five swim teams, The Cyclones TAAF Swim Team, The Hurricanes Swim Club, The Riptides Swim Team, The Waves Swim Team, as well as The Woodlands Junior Swim Team, designed to teach the strokes and skills needed to swim competitively with the other teams. The Woodlands Cyclones Team offers both summer and a winter sessions. The Winter Swim Team (two-week) practice sessions are held at Creekwood pool (heated) and Forestgate pool (heated) with a meet in Frisco, Texas. Each summer swimming season generally has registration begin February 1, and returning swimmers must register by February 8 in order to remain on the same team. Registration are open to everyone beginning February 15.

In order to join a Woodlands Swim Team, swimmers ages 5 and older must posses the prerequisite abilities of swimming freestyle and backstroke, be able to swim 25 yards in one minute, and attend practices. Swim Team Membership costs $195 for one swimmer, $180 per child for two swimmers and $165 per child for three or more swimmers in each family. After April 10, all fees will increase $10.

If your child isn't ready to move up to swim team with all the needed skills, start with the Junior Swim Team. Please note: this is not a learn-to-swim program. All swimmers must be age 4 and older and able to swim the length of the pool. Junior Swim Team Fees are $155 for residents, and $165 for non-resident swimmers.
