Plainview Swim Club

Really fun! I couldn’t believe they have 4 pools. We’ll come back and visit the adult one sans kiddos. The whole place is kept up amazingly well. It’s situated behind on old estate which is now a community center so it’s very picturesque. We signed up for a family membership on the spot. $ 345 for a family of 4. (One visit is $ 32, so if we go 10 – 11 times it’s a wash.) Excited!

As summer winds down and with kids back in school, I thought it the perfect time to try out Plainview Swim club. What a find! For only $ 8, you get to enjoy a huge, L-​shaped pool with lap lanes, a dive pool, an 18 & over pool (yay), and a kiddie pool with fountain.
This afternoon, the pool is almost exclusively adults since kids aren’t yet home. I scored one of the tables w/​an umbrella next to a pair of lounge chairs. My friend and I have the best of both sun and shade.
The pools and grounds are meticulously maintained providing a gorgeous surrounding to relax. There’s plenty of parking and the front gate folks are friendly. A snack bar has treats close at hand, but I haven’t ventured over to it yet.
I imagine this place is hopping in the peak summer months especially being in the middle of a large, planned community with apartments on several sides. For today, this public pool feels like a private club. I’ll definitely be back!

First visit here today and overall it was a good experience. We bought the $ ³⁰⁄₅ admissions pass which is a great deal. Weather was perfect and pools were practically empty until about 2:30 when school let out. I like the 3 separate pool areas — adult only, kiddies pool, and family pool. Each is kind of small but because of the way it’s divided up by group, it feels comfortable still. We chose the family pool and were able to maneuver past the kids to the 5′ end. Water was chilly when we first got in, but do-​able. (I think I’m just spoiled by the heated pool in Clarksville). There’s a small concession stand, and the bathroom area was large and clean. And the lounge chairs were plentiful and comfortable.
2 disappointments: there were a couple of ducks swimming with us, and several boys kept trying to scare/​hurt them. I finally said something to them since the lifeguard didn’t. Also annoying: one man had brought his own radio tuned to country music and very loud. The lifeguard did ask him to turn the volume down once, but 5 minutes later, he turned it back up. My experience has been that most aquatic facilities provide music on speakers, and don’t allow personal radios … But not here. So be warned if like me, you really aren’t a country music fan.
Beyond that however, we enjoyed the facility and will definitely be back. There aren’t many outdoor pools in Louisville open to the public … And this is a fine choice.

What do you do when it gets hot in Louisville and you and all of your friends are no longer apartment-​dwellers with free pool access?! Apparently, you check out Plainview Swim Club. I wouldn’t have even heard of this place if it weren’t for recent activity on my Unilocal news feed.
The swim club is tucked in the Plainview neighborhood and you’ll find tennis courts next door. Not sure if that’s open to the public or the cost of that, but it’s worth looking into. My friends and I lined up at the entrance where you pay for admission. Since there were five of us, we saved money by paying for one 5-​day pass for $ 30 instead of $ 8 per person admission. Also, they take credit cards!
When you walk in, there’s a large pool on the right, a diving pool behind that, a small child pool further on, and the adults-​only pool is to the left.
They also offer concessions (they take cards as well), including ice cream, drinks, and other typical concession-​style fare. It’s worth noting they don’t serve alcohol, though.
I definitely want to take advantage of this pool again before it cools down for the season and I highly recommend you check it out if you’re also looking for a place to swim!

I’m a fan of Planview Swim and Tennis center. Came here with a friend for an afternoon pool and laying out session and throughly enjoyed my time. There’s an $ 8 daily admission fee and they serve concessions. I did try one of their hot dogs which is standard pool food and it did the trick. Food is all inexpensive and they do charge an extra $ 1 for a refill, but that’s fine. The setup of the pools is worth noting. There is exclusively a children’s pool, then a large main pool with two lap lanes set a did and then the diving board pool. It’s definitely family friendly, but does allow for good adult time as well. I definitely will be back at some point.

Fun pools. Great staff. Friendly patrons. And perfect location in town.
All these features and more are pushing this up to the top of my public pool list.
Grab a frequent swim card brings your entry fee down to $ 5 a person.

I dig it! They have an adult only pool. I went on a holiday weekend Monday and I still had a place to sit/​lay. It’s only $ 8 for the day and you’re able to come and go. They have concession when you need a snack or to hydrate. You can bring your own drinks… in plastic. The worst pool is one that becomes shaded-​not a problem here! Parking lot was packed, had to park in grass, but the walk was not bad. I am a fan.

As far as places that a non member ($ 8 admission) can go in the Louisville area for swimming and laying out by a pool… this place tops the list. I only discovered this place last summer, and have been back a couple of times since. It is in a mainly residential neighborhood and feels like you are in the middle of a park. They have 3 different pools: a main lap sized pool, a kiddie pool, and an adults only pool (my favorite). They also have loads of lounging chairs which is a huge plus to me. I mainly go to pools to lay out and socialize with whoever I am there with!
Plainview has a concession stand as well, though I have not bought anything from it.
They allow you to come in and out as you please during that same day too. I like that because sometimes I may want to go grab a bite to eat and come back. :)

It’s great to find a public pool in this area that still has a club vibe. For years I’ve lived in Louisville and looked for a watering hole of any sort. Finally, I found this place trough a friend.
You can bring a small cooler but you can’t have any glass. There might be a few more restrictions too. It costs $ 8 a day to get in or you can get a punch card for five visits for $ 30. We knew we were coming back so we opted for that.
They have a diving board, lap lanes, a kid pool with a fountain, anddddd an adult pool!!! You can bring noodles, and I even noticed they had sunscreen dispensers.
I’m so happy to have a place I can go to on hot days like this! Kentucky’s heat is no joke! Why aren’t there more pools!!! Smh
