The aquatics program at The Plateau Club features an outdoor six-lane competition-sized swimming pool with diving board, children’s pool, whirlpool spa, and extensive decking and observation areas. Seasonal programs include swim team, swim lessons, pool parties, and monthly special events. The pool is open year-round.
The Plateau Club Pool
Our pool is a year-round heated outdoor facility maintained at a comfortable 84°F, making it perfect for lap swimming, recreation, and lessons—even on cooler days. It’s a great amenity for both fitness and fun at the Rec Center.
The pool stays open year-round, even during the off-season!
Lap swim is available in the mornings on Monday through Friday and Sundays, while open swim runs every Saturday and Sunday. For the most accurate schedule, please check our Hours of Operation.
Keep in mind that during the winter months, pool availability may vary based on weather conditions.
Swim Team
The Plateau Penguins seasonal swim team begins practice in mid-May and competes from June to July with the Midlakes Swim League. The program is open to swimmers of all levels, typically ages six and up. New swimmer assessments are conducted during the first week of practice to place children at their appropriate swim level. After 4 weeks of practice, time trials are held to determine competition eligibility. The team practices Monday through Thursday in the evenings, with optional Saturday morning practice from mid-May until school is released for the summer. Practices then switch to weekday mornings for the remainder of the season. Regular season swim meets occur weekly on Tuesday and Thursday evenings beginning mid-June. The swim team is a popular choice for the Plateau Club community and is a great opportunity for your child to develop friendships, teamwork, and involvement with fellow club members!
An Affiliate Swim Team Only Membership is available for nonmembers of The Plateau Club. For more information and pricing for this special swim team-only membership, please contact Recreation Manager Christopher Williams.
Our 2026 Swim Team registration will begin around April 2026. The 2025 team registration information and important dates have been updated below.
2025 Swim Team Registration & InformationLittle Swimmers
The Little Swimmer program is designed for children in the 5-8 age group who are not yet ready for a full summer of competitive swimming. Swimmers must be eager and able to swim one 25 freestyle with ease and one 25 backstroke with effort. Little Swimmers are expected to practice 2 days a week (M/W or T/Th). After four weeks of attending practices, Little Swimmers conclude their season by participating in the swim team time trials in early June. Participating in Little Swimmers allows children to have a positive and encouraging first swim team experience. Little Swimmers are also welcome to take part in all swim team activities and social events.

Swim Instructor
Read Kirstin’s Bio
I bring over 25 years of experience as a swim instructor, starting my competitive journey competing nationally at the age of 10 and extending my passion into collegiate synchronized swimming at the University of Arizona.
My teaching experience spans a wide range of ages, from infants to the elderly, with a particular knack for instructing students with special needs. I take great joy in guiding swimmers through their aquatic journey, whether in group settings or one-on-one lessons. The ultimate reward for me lies in witnessing my students achieve their goals in water safety, swimming skills, and personal accomplishments. I look forward to the opportunity to swim alongside you soon.
