St. Ann Center welcomes adults and childcare clients and the public back to its warm water pool for lessons, classes, open swim and family fun.
Following much-needed updates and renovations, St. Ann Center’s Stein campus Aquatic Center has reopened for use by clients and the public.
Stein Aquatic Center features an indoor, warm-water pool, which means the water temperature is typically no less than 88 degrees. Ideal for relieving pain and stiffness, the warmer water is more comfortable for mature swimmers, swimmers with physical disabilities and young children. Most warm water pools are about 4 feet deep, allowing adults to easily submerge into the water while remaining standing. Warm water pools are ideal for swim lessons, open lap swimming, low-intensity water exercise classes, and many therapeutic benefits including increased range of motion, easing sore and stiff muscles, and maintaining health and fitness in those for whom traditional exercise might prove difficult.
The Aquatic Center is open 7:30am-5:30pm.
Here are additional details.

Meet Patricia, Stein Campus Aquatics Instructor
A lifelong swimmer and trained instructor and lifeguard, Patricia has been teaching people of all ages and abilities to enjoy the water here at St. Ann Center for more than 8 years. She says, “the smiles on the clients’ faces when they’re in the water just opens up your heart. And you get such satisfaction when you have a child who wouldn’t take their feet off of the ground and you see them let go and just float.”
