Frequently asked questions
What's the typical pool season in Huntington Beach?
You can swim pretty much year-round here. While the busiest time is definitely summer, from June to September, many outdoor heated pools stay open through the fall and even winter months. It's rarely cold enough to fully close up shop for more than a short period.
Are there any free or low-cost public swimming options?
The primary low-cost public option is the City of Huntington Beach Pool. It's generally well-maintained and open to the public for a daily fee or with a pass. Free swimming isn't common for maintained pools, but some local splash pads might be free during summer.
What are my options for kid-friendly pools?
The City of Huntington Beach Pool is the main public choice and usually has designated areas or times for families.

Are there more indoor or outdoor pools in the area?
Outdoor pools are much more common in Huntington Beach. The weather here allows for outdoor swimming most of the year, so most community and private pools are outside. Indoor options are fewer, usually found at specific health clubs or larger recreational centers.
What alternatives are there if public pools are too crowded or not private enough?
