Hough Pool is located in downtown Vancouver on the corner of McLoughlin and Esther Streets. The pool is 25 yards long, six lanes wide, and four feet deep, with a moveable floor for little ones. We are staffed by certified American Red Cross lifeguards and Water Safety instructors.

We strive to meet the needs of the community. Choose from our wide range of programs for all ages and abilities. Try water exercise, including arthritis and aerobic classes, laps, family play, kids' open swims, parties, rentals, Red Cross swimming lessons, or Dolphin Club, or the Hough Community Swim Team. Ask to get on our email list to be updated about favorite programs, schedules and special events.

Cost: Free for Hough Students, $60 for non-Hough participants

The Hough Community Swim Team is open to anyone in first through eighth grades who can swim one length of front or back crawl, with correct arm, leg and breathing techniques. Throughout the year HCST swimmers work on stroke improvement, endurance building, flip turns and starts, and other aspects of competitive swimming.

Not sure if you're ready? Feel free to come to a practice and sign up if you like it!

To sign up, simply call or stop by the pool. Guardians must fill out a permission slip before the child swims, and swimmers must sign a team agreement. Practice times are 11:00 am - 12:00 Noon on Saturdays (excluding holiday weekends).
