Find a Pool for Your Family

Indoor and outdoor pools in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, checked on each operator's official website. Filter by indoor, year-round, lessons and who can swim.

Every pool below was checked on its operator's own website (the town, county, YMCA, JCC or park district) on October 12, 2026. We only show a detail, such as indoor, year-round, open swim, a day pass or an age rule, when the operator states it. Pools open to the public are listed first; pools whose public access isn't confirmed, and members-, residents- or guests-only pools, are listed separately and clearly marked. "Not stated by the operator" means we couldn't confirm it, not that the answer is no. Hours and fees change, so each listing links to the official page for current details.

Coverage: this is a starting list of 43 pools (19 in New Jersey and 24 in Pennsylvania; 28 open to the public), not every pool in either state. Monmouth and Ocean counties in New Jersey, and Philadelphia and its nearby suburbs, are not covered yet. We add pools as we verify them, and more states will follow.

Looking for lessons rather than a pool? Browse the swim lesson directory, or read our winter swimming guide for families.

Pools open to the public (28)

Anyone can pay to swim at these pools. Some have limits, such as dates, hours, ticket rules or age rules, shown on each card. Where a venue has more than one pool, the card says which pool is open to the public.
