Our Aquatics Center offers three pools and a number of experiences for aquatic enthusiasts to enjoy. Swimming is a low-impact exercise that offers a range of health benefits; it improves cardiovascular health, builds muscular strength and endurance, and enhances flexibility. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced swimmer, incorporating swimming into your fitness routine can have a positive impact on your overall health and well-being.
Swimming is a great way to spend time together with loved ones in Family Swim as you get in some aquatic movement while you let your little ones splash and play.
The Aquatics Center includes:
• Lap Pool: 8 lane, 25 yard lap pool for aquatic fitness + hot tub on deck
• Recreation Pool: 10 lane, 25 yard pool for recreational use + Family Swim
• Activity Pool: 5 lane 25 yard + zero entry pool with basketball goal and fun water play features for Family Swim
And don't forget to enjoy the Sauna and Steam Rooms, available in the Aquatics Locker Rooms.

Learn-to-Swim Classes
We proudly offer a Red Cross Learn-to-Swim program that allows everyone the opportunity to learn in a safe environment, at their own pace. The Learn-to-Swim program focuses on building skills one step at a time. By giving learners the opportunity to master one element before moving on to the next, and allowing for more individual attention from instructors with small class sizes, our swim lessons make it easy for members to build confidence in the water.
The preferred method to register for group swim lessons is to login to your online account: walmart.clubautomation.com.
Members will be able to register themselves and dependents for swim lessons, as well as various other programs and classes. The secondary method is to register via the Whole Health & Fitness App. However, only the primary member will be able to register dependents using the app. (Don't worry; this is in the works as a future enhancement.)
