Pools & Aquatic Center
At the core of HFAC’s aquatics center is the dazzling 25 yard, six-lane Lap Pool, perfect for lap swim or endurance training. It has a regular schedule of lessons, classes and workouts.
HFAC’s 92 degree Therapy Pool provides a welcoming space for introductory youth swim lessons and our aqua class. Many members use this warm, smaller pool for family play or water-supported stretching.
When the sun is out, south-facing roll up doors connect our indoor pools to HFAC’s expansive outdoor patio as well as the seasonal Outdoor Recreational Pool. The Outdoor pool is open from around Memorial Day Weekend to Mid-September, with some variability due to Oregon weather.
The year-round outdoor Hot Tub is a great place to unwind and relax. Maintained around 103 degrees, it offers warmth and comfort with the luxury of being outdoors.
Pool Safety & Policies
Youth ages 13 and under may NOT use the pool without a lifeguard on duty and/or family adult supervision. Youth, age 13 with teen fit certification still require lifeguard or adult supervision pursuant to Oregon State Law.
Youth who complete the Self-Manager Swim Test may swim without supervision from a family member ONLY when a lifeguard is on duty and family member present in the HFAC facility. Ages 14-17 may use the Aquatics Facility without adult supervision or a lifeguard on duty ONLY after passing the Teen-Fit certification.
HFAC pools are not public facilities and lifeguards are only stationed at limited times. Never swim alone. New swimmers and those with health or other concerns should use added caution. Adults are responsible for the safety and supervision of their own children or any minor guests. An adult must be near the water keeping young children or new swimmers within arms’ reach.
