Public Pools in Shreveport, Louisiana
There are 16 public swimming pools in Shreveport. It gets hot here in Shreveport, really hot, from late spring through early fall. Most public pools open up around Memorial Day and stay open until Labor Day, sometimes a bit longer if we get a mild September. The swim scene is pretty family focused, lots of wading pools and shallow ends for the kids. Lifeguards are generally on duty during operating hours. If you're new to the area or just visiting, the best way to find a place to cool off is usually through the city's parks and recreation department sites. They'll have the most up-to-date schedules and any closures. We don't have a huge number of year-round lap pools, so summer's when everyone really gets out and swims.
