Schedule
The Mount Rainier Pool is divided into two halves by a movable bulkhead. Both sides can have a six-lane 25-yard pool, with the other half as a 15-yard pool. The deep end reaches a depth of 12 feet and has two diving boards, while the shallow end is 3 feet to 3.5 feet. The pool temperature is 83-85 degrees. It was built in 1975 as part of the Forward Thrust Movement. The pool is the home site for the Mount Rainier Swim and Dive Teams, all Highline School District Dive Teams, and the Seattle Metropolitan Aquatics Team. In 2018, a new pool shell was added with improvements for water quality and an additional ADA lift for access to both sides of the pool.

LANGUAGE TRANSLATION DISCLAIMER
You are asking to have the Des Moines Pool Metropolitan Park District website converted from English to another language.
As a convenience to those who live and work here, the Pool District links to Google Translation which provides an automated translation of the website. The tool is not perfect, and the context of the text may not be considered when it is translated. As a result, sometimes the translation may lose some of its intended meaning.
Therefore, the Des Moines Pool Metropolitan Park District cannot guarantee the accuracy of the converted text. Where there is any question, the English version is always the authoritative version of the website.
Some items on the site may not be translated, such as images containing text, documents, maps, and web page elements. In addition, some features on the site may not work in the translated versions. If you have any questions about information that appears on our site, please contact us.
