Indoor and Outdoor Pool

The Missouri Athletic Club has two pools that are utilized throughout the year for private and group swim and dive lessons and clinics as well as practice and meets during swim season.

Downtown Indoor Pool

Set five floors above the city streets in our historic Downtown Clubhouse, the indoor pool is a great place to find an elevated, quiet setting to help maintain a consistent routine throughout the year.

From its early days hosting competitions and even training U.S. Coast Guard swimmers during World War II, to its modern incarnation as a peaceful place to come and get in a lap or two, the space is always welcoming for swimmers of all levels and is the perfect place to come if you're looking to make some real progress in your fitness routine.

The indoor aquatic center has:

A 25-yard lap pool is built for lap swimming and structured workouts
Five swim lanes suited for individual workouts
Pool depth that ranges from just four to eight feet
Adjacent hot tub, sauna, and cold plunge tubs for recovery

Lifeguard supervision during designated hours

West Outdoor Pool

The West Clubhouse outdoor pool is the place to be in the summer months for a good old-fashioned summer party. Designed with families, relaxation, and casual recreation in mind, the space offers a true summer waterpark feel while maintaining the refined standards of the Club.

Some of the key features of the outdoor pool include:

A big, open swimming pool, with loads of poolside seating
Diving board and designated lap lanes
Lifeguards are on duty during operating hours, so you can focus on having fun

And because we all know that the best way to spend a summer afternoon is with a cold drink, our food/beverage service is conveniently located nearby.

During the summer weeks, the outdoor pool is basically a social hub where members come to hang out and have a good time. And with its proximity to the STL region and other St. Louis County communities, it’s the highlight of the summer season for swimmers.

Swimming Programs and Lessons

The Missouri Athletic Club competition pools are in constant use throughout the year, whether it's for private or group swim lessons, swimming class instruction, clinics, or structured practices. Swimming programs cater to swimmers of all ages and experience levels, including beginners just learning the ropes and experienced athletes looking to fine-tune their technique.

A Thoughtful Aquatic Experience

Whether you're looking to get in a workout, recover from an injury, or just enjoy some quality time in the water, we are just the place for you. And it's all set against a backdrop of more than a century of aquatic tradition.
