Cool Off at Marin Community Pools 2025

Hamilton Pool in Novato

Looking for a family-friendly pool in Marin to keep cool on a warm spring or summer day? Here's our list of swimming pools throughout Marin County that are open to the public and offer recreational swim hours for families. In addition to daily drop-in fees, many of these pools offer season passes for families as well. We've also included some of the awesome private swim clubs here, in case you want to purchase a family membership for swimming fun all summer long.

All schedules and drop-in fees are accurate at the time of publishing, but are subject to change and cancellation without notice. It always helps to give them a call to confirm hours and prices before you go. If you know of another local drop-in swim facility that you don't see in our roster here, please let us know and we'll add it to the list.
