In addition to serving children and adults of the Barber National Institute, the pool offers a wide range of programs open to the community. No patron will have difficulty entering and exiting the pool with its movable floor that rises to the level of the deck and lowers 4 ½ feet. The facility provides a variety of equipment and floatation devices to be used for teaching in all skill levels and abilities. Because of the special needs of many of our patrons, our pool is kept at a therapeutic and soothing temperature between 88-94 degrees.

Adults are welcome to use the pool to do any exercise of their choice. The open swim is available Monday through Thursday from 2 p.m. until 3 p.m. The cost is $4, but discount cards can be purchased to reduce the cost.
