Sanpete Aquatics

Swimming isn’t just a fun way to cool off during the summer. It’s one of the few sports or activities that doesn’t cost a lot of money or require special gear or equipment. It offers a total-body workout, is easier on the joints, increases flexibility and can be enjoyed at any age — from toddlers to seniors.

Swimming is a physical activity in which you can participate at any time of the year if an indoor pool is available or temperatures are mild. So, find a swimsuit, grab a friend and head for the nearest pool.

There are four facilities in Sanpete County which provide public swimming.

The Mt. Pleasant Aquatic Center indoor pool is available year-round with six lap lanes, a zero-depth-entry wading area and small waterslide. Large doors on the north end can be opened during good weather.

The pool is adjacent to the Mt. Pleasant City Splash Pad, which features outdoor fountains, water jets and a deck area for sunbathing. Classes, activities and special events along with facility rentals are available. For hours of operation, call (435) 462-1333 or visit mtpleasantcity.com/pool.
