Clayview Aquatics
THE BEST SWIMMING POOLS IN KANSAS CITY + YEAR-ROUND LESSONS!
Clayview is home to a beautiful 8-lane, 25-meter heated outdoor swimming pool - providing a great time for all kinds of swimmers! It includes a 3-meter springboard and a 1-meter springboard, with a 12-foot deep dive well.
We are also home to an outdoor children's pool and an outdoor baby pool, perfect for infant and survival rescue training. This area includes child-proof aquatic features, like a mushroom fountain and other spray heads.
An inflatable, weather-proof dome covers the pool annually from late September to May for year-round enjoyment. In the summer, you can lay out on our expansive surrounding deck to enjoy some sun or jump in for some personal lap training. The deck includes deck chairs, chaise recliners, and tables for member and non-member guest usage.
