Woodlands Texas, pools for lap swim?

Besides the natatorium, are there any pools in The Woodlands that have lap swim?

There are plenty. Depends on what you’re looking for. You looking for some place to go on your own or swim with a masters program? Are you local and plan to join somewhere or are you just passing through?

Visiting family for 9 days, so just passing through. Masters or doing my own thing. I’m staying near woodlands Parkway and Kuyekendal

As a visitor I think the Nat is your best and easiest bet. Their open swims are 9a to 1p M-F usually. The only quirk right now is the youth swim team and their summer practices. They take priority and may impact the schedule. Give them a call or check the website.

A couple of other options are the Shadow Bend YMCA or LifeTime Fitness. Pretty easy if you’re already a member of one of them but I’m not sure what, if any, non-member guest policy they have. The Y pool generally sucks and I’ve never been to LifeTime.

Another option is do some guest swims with Magnolia Masters. There are swims at 6am, noon and 7:30pm at community pools around The Woodlands. The pools are small, old and hot this time of year but the workouts are really good. Look up SnappingT on here for more info or Google Magnolia Masters.
