The Annville-Cleona Community Pool offers a seasonal outdoor swimming option for people living in and around Annville. It is a membership-based facility, with membership options for individuals, families and seniors. If swimming is part of your summer routine, it is a local amenity to explore when getting to know the area.

Plan a visit

Review the pool’s current season information before visiting. Its published rules require non-members to be accompanied by a card-holding member and pay the applicable admission fee. Check the official rules for supervision requirements and other entry details.

Swimming lessons

The borough’s community resource page lists swimming lessons among the pool’s offerings. Visit the pool’s official swimming lessons page for posted lesson information and application materials. Check the season listed and confirm upcoming dates, age groups, fees and registration availability directly with the pool.

Schedules, membership terms and programs may change. Follow the official pool and borough information for the latest details.

Community Recreation

Annville Township’s recreation resources include the Annville-Cleona Community Pool, a fitness center and senior programming. Membership rules, guest access, schedules and fees can change, so use the official township recreation page for current information.

The township also identifies Swatara Watershed Park and Campground among its parks and recreation resources. Verify availability, rules and any reservation requirements directly before planning a visit.

Sports and Campus Recreation

Local youth leagues, adult recreation groups and Lebanon Valley College athletics add more ways to participate or attend events. Public access, eligibility and schedules vary. Check the organizing group or township organizations directory rather than assuming a facility or event is open to the public.
