Bring the kids for year-round fun at the VHAC recreational pool. Our indoor pool sports a water slide, lazy river, water features and a vortex pool for the kids, with 3 lap swim lanes for the more serious swimmer. Having a pool indoors means we can have fun any time, and makes our pool an ideal spot to host birthday swim parties no matter what time of the year your birthday is. From mid-Spring to late Fall, we also have a patio to soak up some sun while the kids play. Don't miss this unique opportunity!
Guests can purchase single day passes for $8 per person (swimmer and non-swimmer), Community Weekend Passes (Friday through Sunday) good for one month, or access the pool as part of your VHAC membership. All purchases, regardless of level, can be accessed through the VHAC Member Services Desk.
For information regarding group rentals, please see our Facility Reservations page or call the Virgil Henson Activities Center Member Services Desk at is (806) 651-2323.
