With warm weather on the rise, what better way to cool off than with a visit to a top Indianapolis swimming pool. With both indoor and outdoor facilities catering to residents, going for a swim doesn’t have to be limited to summer. Here are four of the coolest Indy pools we think you’ll love.
-
The Riviera Club Swimming Pools
This massive recreational hotspot is home to 27 acres of indoor and outdoor facilities, including six swimming pools. Two are located indoors, with one being heated and another reserved for juniors. Four are located outdoors, with the main outdoor pool holding the title of Largest in the U.S. The latter also features 15 lanes — with distances ranging from 25 yards to 50 meters — along with slides and a diving tank. Other outdoor pools include a diving pool with three diving boards, a junior pool, and a deep wading pool.
The Riviera Club also offers swimming lessons for kids and adults who want to channel their inner Olympian. In fact, the facility served as the training site for a handful of Olympic gold medalists between 1924 and 2004.

Indy Island Pools
Located at Raymond Park, Indy Island is perfect for all ages and the go-to spot for affordable summer fun. This indoor facility features a leisure pool that reaches a depth of 3 feet and a 3-lane swimming pool that is 6 feet deep. You’ll also find a large spiral waterslide — perfect for older kids and adults — along with deck chairs for lounging in comfort. Oh, and you’ll find plenty of water amenities for the kiddos, too, including a playhouse, slide, geysers, and sprayers. Locker rooms and attentive lifeguards round out this facility’s extensive list of perks.

Krannert Park Pool and Aquatic Center
Krannert Park is home to an indoor swimming pool that is accessible year-round and an outdoor aquatic center that’s open during the summer. Amenities include everything from a toddler pool and play area to large and small water slides. You can also sign up for swim lessons or one of the many $3 weekly sessions that include water aerobics, water Zumba, and aqua arthritis classes.
For even more fun, don’t forget to head outdoors to get your fill of the lovely landscape surrounding Krannert Park. You’ll enjoy plenty of wooded scenery, a shimmering 2.5-acre pond, 1.6 miles of paved trails, and a variety of sports courts.

Thatcher Park Pool
The final entry on this list can be found at Thatcher Park. This swimming pool is located indoors and is ideal for swimmers of all ages. It stretches 25 yards and features six lanes, a 12-foot diving well, and a rock-climbing wall. It’s flanked by a paved patio area and a large overhead pool cover.
The pool is set at 85 to 87 degrees, so it’s always a cozy temperature and perfect for a variety of water activities. Much like Krannert Park, this pool offers swim lessons, water aerobics, water Zumba, and aqua arthritis classes, but it also adds kayaking lessons and reserved times for swim team practices.
