Ann Arbor Indoor Pool Guide

Swim Year Round at These Indoor Pools Near Ann Arbor

My daughter has always loved swimming – no wonder she is on her high school team. When she was younger, I found that swimming periodically would help her maintain her swimming skills. Now that her high school season is over, she is looking for where she can go to practice until next year. Fortunately there are a number of Ann Arbor Indoor Pool options so she can swim year round.

Indoor Water Parks

In addition to indoor pools, there are two nearby indoor water parks. While both offer hotel packages, they are both an easy day trip from Ann Arbor. They offer both full and half-day rates.

Zehnder’s Splash Village

Zehnder’s Splash Village in Frankenmuth expanded almost 10 years ago. My daughter and I visited with friends over mid-winter shortly after they opened the new section. The new expansion is bright and airy with a new family raft slide, a drop slide, a second lazy river and a pool area. The original area offers two tube slides, play structure, kids play area, and more. We reviewed the original section in 2013 but never wrote up on our 2016 visit. The original Splash water park has recently had glass walls added. I can’t wait to see new photos from the inside.

Zehnders Splash Village

They have limited capacity. It is recommended to book your day tickets before driving up from Ann Arbor. Get more details on their website.
