Visit this unique YMCA with the best indoor pool in Nashville!
The Northwest YMCA is located in north Nashville, about 15 minutes northwest of downtown. While many YMCA gyms around middle Tennessee, this zero-entry, kid-friendly, indoor pool makes this a unique spot to visit. Most gyms have indoor pools, but this large indoor pool area is perfect for young kids still learning to swim.
The pool has a shallow wading area starting at zero feet going as deep as four feet. It's consistently 84 degrees and has three-lap swim lanes available. There is a small slide, splash buckets, and fountains in the zero-entry area. There is also a larger climbing tower area with two slides entering the lap pool lanes. To access those slides, you must pass the swim test. See more details on the swim test here. Swim lessons are also available.
Inside the pool area are family locker rooms and bathrooms. There is also picnic table seating. Food is welcome in those areas. Bring your towels. Lifejackets are available, and there is a large stand of jackets next to the small slide. Pool hours are M-F: 6am-12pm & 3-8pm; S: 7am-1pm. Other notes: If there is lightning in the area, they will close the pool, so check the YMCA website or app for updated information. To visit, you must be a member of the YMCA.
Be sure to check out the new playground next to the YMCA on your next visit. For a complete description of the gym's facilities, visit the Northwest YMCA website. They also have Y-play, a youth activity center, group exercise classes, youth sports, and more.
