Life Time Fitness Outdoor Pool, Ellisville

Location: 3058 Clarkson Rd., Ellisville, MO 63017     636-227-0200

This $60 million dollar facility was built in 2008 and is state of the art. I was always under the impression that it was a private club and you had to be a member to use their facilities. Recently I learned I was wrong and anyone can swim here! They offer a $30 daily pass per family. Larger families will get the most bang for their buck here (A mom, dad, and 3 kids would be $30 which breaks down to $6 per person. If it's just you and one child that's also $30 which is $15 per person so that's kind of pricey).  The pool has lap lanes, 2 slides, a water umbrella, and zero entry area with pop jets. Just for comparison's sake,  the Ellisville Edge pool is nearby and they charge $6 per person for non residents.

These are photos from their website, I haven't made it out there yet but I plan to soon.

5. Infinity Edge Waterfall
6. Slide 

Normal pool hours are 11:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. every day.

This is a medium sized facility, which is great because you don't have to walk too far to get to anything. Their prices are good too, a day pass for non residents is not much at all. This tot time is really well suited for toddlers and babies, because there's no deep water at all and it's got a soft surface. It's really just a huge splash pad. There's a large variety of jets and sprayers. 

Here's the rest of the facility if you want to do open swim. This outdoor aquatic center opened in 2008 and replaced the City of Ellisville’s aging traditional pool. The facility features an 8 lane competitive pool, two one meter diving boards, zero depth entry leisure pool with unique vanishing edge and underwater benches. A separate play pool has interactive play features.
