The summer pool season is here, and most area public pools are now open.
While you may have a favorite pool in your neighborhood or city, our swimming pool guide covers only pool complexes that are open to nonresidents. Pools in places like the city of St. Louis are open but only to residents. Let us know if we missed something by emailing Amy Bertrand.
Whether you are looking to relax with a book poolside or take a plunge down a slide, we hope to ease your search for summer fun.
