The Vestavia Hills Aquatic Complex features a competition pool and a family-style leisure pool, both of which are closely monitored by trained lifeguards. The family-style leisure pool features a zero-step entry, interactive water features and a swirling vortex offered specifically to entertain our youngest swimmers. The competition pool is designed for intermediate to advanced swimmers and offers a 12’ diving well, four dedicated lap lanes and an open swim area. Also within the pool area are lounge chairs for tanning or relaxing in a shady areas, restrooms/locker rooms and a concessions area with a dedicated, covered dining space.

Swim Lessons
Swimming lessons teach children self-confidence, encourage physical fitness and cut the risk of drowning. We are offering a variety of swim lessons at the Vestavia Hills Aquatic Complex in June for first time swimmers to experienced swimmers who need help working on their stroke! Children must be 3 years old to enter the program.
Swim Lessons will occur on June 3-13, June 17-27, and July 8-18. The cost is $120 per 8-day session. Classes will be held Monday – Thursday, with Friday as a make-up day if there is bad weather.
This is a beginner swim class or level 1 and intro to swimming. This is for children who cannot put their faces in the water or float.
This swim class is for children between the ages of 5-11 who know how to put their faces in the water and can float. These children can have some forward progress in the water with no help from someone or a floatation device.
