Public Pools in Huntsville, Alabama
There are 18 public swimming pools in Huntsville. Around here, when late spring hits, folks are ready for the water. The humidity cranks up pretty quick in Huntsville, so a pool isn't just nice to have, it's a necessity for cooling off. Our outdoor pool season generally runs from May through September, sometimes even into October if we get a warm fall. What I've seen is a pretty mixed swim scene. You've got your families cooling off in neighborhood pools, and then there are the lap swimmers at some of the bigger community spots. If you're new to Huntsville and looking for a place to swim, start with local community centers or ask around in neighborhood groups. Some apartment complexes have decent pools too. It's all about finding what works for your routine.
