For other uses of "pool", see Pool (disambiguation).

Pool is a community lot and a lot assignment in The Sims 3 and The Sims 4 as of Patch 27. They contain publicly-usable swimming pools.

The Pool (called Swimming Center) is also a playable lot in The Sims FreePlay, which allows sims to practice the diving hobby.

The sole public pool in the game, it suits the basic needs expected of a summertime outdoors pool, in particular to see the player Sims swim at tremendous speeds while still in their everyday clothes.

The lot is also right next door to Ollie's Skate Park, so close that they effectively form a combined lot with no border margins between them.

The Sims 4[]

Pools as a lot assignment in The Sims 4 were not originally included in the base game. They were added in Patch 27.

Windenburg[]

The pool in Windenburg is the club hangout of the Paragons and Renegades.

The Sims FreePlay[]

The Swimming Center in The Sims FreePlay is unlocked during the quest "It's All Going Swimmingly." It contains an indoor pool with diving boards, a lifeguard chair, a slide, and a kiddie playground for toddlers. It is a location for Sims to practice the Diving skill if they do not have a pool at home. Sims can also be lifeguards, slide down the slide, swim in the pool, and play on the playground (toddlers only). There is a coffee machine near the front desk in case sims need to fill their Energy need.

Notes[]

  1. As the coffee bar is outdoors, there is a theorethical chance that whichever NPC is staffing the bar could catch fire or freeze to death if Seasons is installed, though this has not been confirmed.
