Pool (lot)

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.

Lots not assigned as pools, but which have swimming pool areas

Occasionally, a lot may not have been given the pool lot assignment, while visibly having designated swimming areas nevertheless.

• Gyms: 28 Hour Wellness Gym (Sunset Valley), Riverview Gymnasium, Goldbeard's Gym (Barnacle Bay), AJV Wellness Center (Bridgeport), Weight & Sea Rec Center (Starlight Shores), Gymnasium Ultima (Monte Vista), Jungle Jim's Gym (Sunlit Tides), Weights & Waves Gym (Aurora Skies), The Palms Gym (Isla Paradiso).
• No Visitors Allowed: Sundhöll Community Pool (Aurora Skies).
• Beaches with pools: Basalt Beach (Aurora Skies).
• Parks with pools: Hot Springs (Shang Simla), Buena Vista Resort (Bridgeport).
• Poolside clubs: Aquarius (Bridgeport).
• Private venue: Los Sueños Private Club (Starlight Shores).
• Resorts: Sparkling Sands (Isla Paradiso).
• Big Parks: Silver Zephyr Health Spa (Hidden Springs).
• Graveyards: Ivy Hill Graveyard (Twinbrook).

Additionally, and remarkably, Sims can swim in other Sims' private lots' unfenced outdoor swimming pools without being told to leave the lot.

Trivia

• There are no designated pool lot assignments in Bridgeport and Starlight Shores. Bridgeport has the Aquarius poolside lounge and a fair few semi-public pool areas near skyscrapers; while Starlight Shores has Los Sueños Private Club, a decently large gym pool, and various unfenced private villa pools.
• Riverview, Moonlight Falls and Midnight Hollow only have indoor pools.
• The Riverside Pool in Roaring Heights might be a reference to the unreleased neighborhood of The Sims 2 called Riverside.
• The Palatial Beach Pool is the only pool in Moonlight Bay.

• A somewhat curved swimming pool, circa 14sq at widest and 18sq at longest.
• A barbecue.
• A table with seating for 4.
• Various beach towels.
• A parasol.
• A stereo.
• 6 lounge chairs.
• A fire hydrant.
• A fake door.

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 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.

There is a coffee machine near the front desk in case sims need to fill their Energy need.
