What's the typical pool season in Anaheim?

Are there any free or low-cost options for swimming?
Public pools usually offer the most affordable swimming. You're looking at a small daily entry fee, or you can often buy a punch pass or a seasonal membership if you plan to go often. These are usually much cheaper than a private gym membership that includes a pool.

Are there any indoor pools available for swimming when it's cold or rainy?
Anaheim mostly has outdoor pools. There aren't many dedicated indoor public swimming facilities. Sometimes community centers or private gyms will have indoor pools, but for public access, you'll generally be looking at outdoor options that are weather-dependent.
