75+ Swimming Pools, Waterparks, Swim Beaches & Splashpads in Kansas City

Water fun has been a part of my kids' lives pretty much since they were each born. I grew up with Mission Pool basically in my backyard, and most days you could find my mom and me in line waiting to get in 10 minutes before they opened each day so Mom could race to her favorite corner to get "her" spot.

I think zero-depth pools are one of the greatest inventions ever! I can't tell you how many hundreds of hours I've spent at swimming pools nursing one of my babies in a lounge chair while also keeping an eye on my other kids nearby in the zero-depth area or in the baby pool.

I hope you and your family have a fantastic and safe summer enjoying the sun and the water!

(This post is under construction as I work on my self-published book, Adventuring in Kansas City with Kids. I'll be hunting down dozens of swimming pools (indoor and outdoor), waterparks, swim beaches and splashpads in the Kansas City area. Check back often!)
