Recreation Swim

2026 Swim runs 6/16-8/7. We have two options for casual swimming. Check out below!

The Campbell Community Pool features one 20-yard by 25-yard outdoor pool divided into shallow and deep ends for all swimmers to enjoy. Locker rooms and showers are available for use, but please bring you own lock if you are interested in securing your items. On deck, we have lounge chairs, pool chairs, and tables. Now you can have access to all Recreation Swim times throughout the summer with an Unlimited Use Recreation Pass. Register online and we'll be ready for you at the gate! Everyone entering the pool deck must pay entrance fee, even if you are not swimming.

NEW! Social Hour Swim 

We understand how challenging it can be to find time to relax, socialize, and enjoy the pool in a safe environment. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our new Social Hour Swim, designed for families looking to connect and individuals with special needs seeking a quieter space to swim. These weekly swim sessions allow only 30 patrons at a time, with half the pool dedicated to your enjoyment. While Level 2 and 3 swim lessons will run alongside, the rest of the pool is yours to explore and have fun! Join us for a welcoming and social time at the pool, whether you're here to unwind or make some new connections.
