FREE Swimming Days at Wichita Pools

I remember when I first heard about Wichita’s FREE swimming days! They have them for each of the city’s pools throughout the summer. Can you believe that? Also, this year you can Swim for Free every other Saturday at McAfee Pool.

2026 Pool Season is: May 25 – September 6, 2026

City of Wichita Pools have been undergoing changes and upgrades for the past few years. Some of them were turned into Splash Pads, but we still have six Wichita city swimming pools with free swimming days this summer!

The Wichita pools open this year on Memorial Day.

Pool Party!

Did you also know you can rent out a city pool for birthday parties and family get-togethers? It’s true! Some pools you can rent after regular hours, and at two of the pools you can have access during public swim times and reserve a private party area.
