Mountain Springs Pool

Let Me Tell Y'all How Awesome the people at Mountain Springs Pool are! It was the 4th of July and my friend and our children wanted to go swimming so we googled public pools and came across this location. When we arrived, the attendant informed us we must be a resident or a member of the club and was declined entry. We started to walk away until a gentleman intervened and said he and his wife would like to have us as their guests. Big Thanks to Mr. Lee and his wife Brittany!!! 😍 We entered and quickly realised We Were The ONLY Black People There! 😱 In the days of Trump and racial tension we were nervous but we continued. Yes in 2018, I felt like they would Dorothy Dandridge the pool if we stuck our toe in but they didn't. 😂 Everyone could tell we felt out of place and began to greet us and tell us about the day's events. Our girls went on to have fun and I met some wonderful, loving and kind people there. I will admit the negative thoughts were all in my head and we soon felt the energy of the family environment. We had a great holiday with the people at Mountain Springs Pool!

Mountain Spring Pool is home of the Stingrays Swim team. It is nestled in the trees of the Huntsville Land Trust and adjacent to Hermitage Park. It is a members only pool. It is great for anyone who enjoys swimming. there is a 10 minute break each hour for Adult lap swim. It just celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2014 by renovating almost the entire pool. It now boasts a salt cell system, a 6th lap lane, increased deep end, and new pumps. Our family has enjoyed the pool for many years, and plan to be there for many more.

We are biased as 4th generstion members, but I think it is the best private pool in Huntsville. Salt water, plenty of shade, the ambiance being set back into the woods and surrounded by the nature preserve makes this pool unique!

Water was too warm, like a bath. They need to add water features to the return inlets around the pool to keep the water cool enough to be refreshing.

The pool is great and I love the salt water. The people are so friendly and open to chat with anyone. It's a vacation spot in our home town.
