Spring & Summer
During the summer months, the pool is open to the outdoors surrounded by a lush, tropical landscape, decorated with kid-friendly decor to excite and welcome all swimmers, and kid-friendly music is playing during the lessons to help engage all swimmers. Parents are welcome to stay and watch at one of the several umbrella-covered tables or watch from the air-conditioned pool house where there is a restroom and changing facilities. We provide goggles, kickboards, and water toys to enhance instruction and motivation. The pool is kept at 90 degrees.
Fall & Winter
For the fall, winter and spring months, the pool is enclosed and the water is heated to 90 degrees. An air-filled dome structure is placed over the pool and deck area providing a comfortable environment to learn and watch. The inside of the dome is decorated with kid-friendly decor to excite and welcome all swimmers, and kid-friendly music is playing during the lessons to help engage all swimmers. Parents are welcome to stay and watch at one of the tables inside the dome or watch from the air-conditioned pool house where there is a restroom and changing facilities. We provide goggles, kickboards, and water toys to enhance instruction and motivation.
Year-round swimming is strongly encouraged to attain full proficiency as any skill is mastered with practice and repetition. Also, year-round swim provides the best opportunity for swimmers to achieve safety, cardio-conditioning, and confidence that comes from long-term skill development. For safety and health reasons, it is an excellent way for children to stay active and engaged all year while learning a skill that will benefit them throughout their lives. Research shows the most optimal results come from year-round swimming.
Facilities
Pool
Our facility is designed to enhance the learning, fun, and safety for every swimmer at Northshore Swim. Our pristine pool is a 32,000-gallon heated pool with a 50' lap lane and a 16'x20' teaching square. It is large enough to teach the skill without being overwhelming to a child. The pool is heated to 90 degrees year-round for comfort.
Pool Cleaning
We also treat our water with a Solar Eclipse Del Ozone with UV Sanitation System that safely kills bacteria, viruses, algae, mold, and mildew, including Cryptosporidium parvum. With this system, the pool can operate with much lower chlorine levels and is even more protected than normal overly chlorinated pools! That means less eye, skin, and respiratory irritation for your child. We are the only commercial pool on the Northshore that has this technology as safety, comfort, and cleanliness are our top priorities. Our pool is also commercially tested to ensure proper chlorine levels at all times.
Changing Facilities
Changing facilities and a bathroom is available in the air-conditioned pool house.
Parking
Onsite parking is available. There is parking available on both Albert St. and Villere St. Parents of swimmers, please be careful and watch closely for swimmers entering and exiting the pool area adjacent to the parking area.
Waiting Areas
Please feel free to enjoy your swimmer's lessons poolside or in the air-conditioned pool house. Free Internet WiFi is also available.
