MVA is a wonderful asset to our community.. As a native Montanan.. growing up in a smaller community …with a love of swimming..we could have only have dreamed of a facility like this. We have lived near Polson since 1993 and remember how hard people worked, over decades, with many failed attempts, to make this facility a reality… Pools are expensive to operate and unfortunately costs have increased. It is not a city pool.. it is run as a nonprofit which differs from pools in most communities. The price increase has been unpopular, but a reality of keeping the organization solvent. Blending a clientele from 2-92 is also a challenge.given the heavy use of the therapy pool and keeping all people safe. Liability and insurance costs are high and rules are not always popular, but a reality. The pool and facilities are very clean.. the staff is friendly… hours are reasonable…. So grateful for MVA.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can kids swim without a parent?

Kids 14 and under must be accompanied by a parent/guardian over 18 and pass a swim test in order to be IN the water unaccompanied.  All minors 14 and under must have an adult (18+) in the facility at all times, regardless of passing a swim test or not.

What temperature is the pool?

The main pool is 82 degrees Fahrenheit and our therapy pool is 93-95 degrees Fahrenheit.

Is there a diving board at the pool?

Yes! It can be opened at the discretion of the on-duty lifeguards. The Diving Board will be closed for swim team and lap swimmer safety Mon-Fri from 4-7PM. There is also a climbing wall that is free to use at any time!

Is there a lifeguard on deck?

We do have Red Cross Certified Lifeguards on deck.

Can I watch my child in the pool without having to pay the day pass?

Kids under age 14 must pass a swim test in order to be in the pool without a parent.  If your child passes, we have bleachers along the side of the pool to get comfortable on! Otherwise, we highly recommend you purchase a day pass and be in the water within arm’s reach of them. If your child passes the swim test, they still need an adult present on deck at all times.

Can we bring our own pool equipment?

Dive toys are welcomed. We prohibit any inflatables that are not US Coast Guard safety certified. That means NO puddle jumpers, NO water wings, NO infant flotation devices, NO large tubes or inflatables.
