Tipton City Pool

A popular place in the summer is the Tipton City Pool. Hours are from noon to 7 p.m. (as long as the weather cooperates). General admission is $3 per person with children 3 and under swimming for free. On Wednesdays, from 8 to10 p.m.is the “night swim.” Admission is $3 per person. Occasionally there will be a “theme night” and a special $1 admission rate for those participating. In the event of inclement weather or cancellation, Thursday night may be used as a rescheduled Night Swim. This year, thanks to a generous donation/sponsorship from West Street Christian Church of Tipton, all guests of the Tipton City Pool on Sundays will receive FREE admission. Elleanor Malston, 4 months old, enjoys her very first swim at the pool. Follow Tipton City Pool on their Facebook page.
