Sooner & Frontier Pools FAQ

Does my YMCA membership give me access to the Public Pools?

No. Sooner and Frontier Pool are owned by the City of Bartlesville and are managed by the YMCA. YMCA membership perks do not cross over because of this.

Is the Splash Pad a part of Sooner Pool?

No. The Sooner Splash Pad is separate from Sooner Pool. You can not access the Splash Pad from inside the pool facility. The Splash Pad is FREE to the public and open 9am - 9pm.

Are there season passes of any kind available for purchase?

No. Season passes are not available this year. The best savings option if you will be frequently visiting the pools are the Entry Punch Cards. *Season Passes are being discussed for future seasons, though!*

Are there Swim Lessons available at the outdoor pools?

YES! At the YMCA, we believe Swim Lessons teach our community life-saving skills! Find out more HERE

Why can't I rent Sooner Pool this season?

Due to the new Friday and Saturday evening swims, there were very few days available to offer rentals. Our team also wanted a season to adjust to the new addition of 3 large slides at Sooner. Depending on circumstances, rentals at Sooner may return in 2025.
