About Clements Swimming Pool
Clements Swimming Pool is a public outdoor pool in Tucson, located within Lincoln Regional Park. Listed by the City of Tucson Parks and Recreation department, the pool is open year-round and offers a combination of lap swimming, recreational water activities, diving, and play areas. Its layout accommodates both structured swimming and more casual visits, with seven lanes for lap swimming, a water slide, and a diving area.
The pool features a beach entry and a 25-yard competitive course with seven lanes. The competitive pool supports adult lap swim and provides space for swimmers who want to maintain a regular workout routine. The beach entry creates a gradual way into the water, while the pool's separate diving bay includes a 1-meter diving board. Diving is permitted only in designated areas, in keeping with the pool's posted safety rules.
For recreation, Clements Pool includes a 144-foot-long water slide and a separate splash pad. A shade structure and grassy area provide additional space around the pool, giving visitors places to take a break between swims. The pool's offerings are designed for different kinds of use, from lap swimming and recreational swimming to water play and diving. The presence of both a competitive course and family-oriented amenities gives the facility a varied role within Lincoln Regional Park.
Clements Pool also hosts several swimming programs. Its listed programs include a competitive swim team, a synchronized swim team, and swim lessons. These programs extend the pool's role beyond open recreational use, providing opportunities for organized swimming and instruction. Adult lap swim and recreational swim are listed activities, while the competitive and synchronized teams offer additional ways for swimmers to participate in a group setting.
Visitors are expected to follow the facility's pool rules, including observing safety regulations, using rescue equipment only for emergencies, and disposing of trash properly. Running, pushing, and boisterous play are not allowed in the pool area, and swimming is prohibited during lightning storms. Glass, pets, smoking, and food or drinks other than water are not permitted in the pool area. Guests should shower and use restrooms before entering, wear appropriate swimwear, and stay out of the water when experiencing a contagious condition or open wound. The posted rules also state that children under 7 are not permitted. Information about pool closures and ways to help the city collect feedback about the location is available through the pool's email update list.
