Swimming

The Millwood and San Poppi pools are popular places to be during the summer. The heated pool and deck areas are spacious and comfortable and the perfect place for summer fun. Whether you’re interested in relaxation or exercise, you’ll find it at Millwood.

Both pools are managed and staffed by experienced professionals, and certified lifeguards ensure a safe swimming and relaxing environment.

The Cabana, inside the Millwood pool, is a full-service bar and full menu service. It is Tuesday – Sunday to provide members with a great selection of snack and menu favorites as well as adult beverages specially blended by our talented bartenders.

Millwood Pool

Throughout the summer, our resort-style pool provides room for recreational swimming. It is also the perfect place for adult and family events including holiday parties, birthday parties and other fun occasions.

For those seeking a challenge, our coaches provide a program of competition with opportunities for developing proper swimming techniques.  Swimming lessons are open to most ages (3 years and up) and many levels. Private lessons are available and are often considered a more effective approach for teaching beginners or those working on stroke proficiency.  Please contact Jason Hite, Swim Director, for more information at 417-224-2205.

A small pool for little ones is on the deck providing parents an opportunity to enjoy both pools no matter the age of their children—and it’s a great place for socializing with other families.
