Lawson, Missouri
Built in 1966, the Lawson swimming pool provides a family and friendly environment for all to enjoy. It is a community staple - and it is saved for the 2026 season and beyond.
About the club
The Lawson Pool is now owned and operated by the Lawson Swim Club — a community-led non-profit. The pool has been an important part of our community for many years, 60 summers and counting. For us, this is not about the city versus the community — it's about the community coming together to help the city thrive.
At the pool
Everything the club offers, from a season pass to a banner at the poolside.
Single, couple, family and senior memberships for the 2026 season, bought online. Family memberships cover 3 to 6 people in one household, and a PLUS add-on covers a non-household family member or a regular babysitter.
Reserve the pool before hours (10am-12pm) or after hours (8pm-10pm), any day of the week. Members pay a lower rate. Outside food and non-alcoholic drinks are welcome, and the concession stand can stay open for an additional charge.
A members-only option during normal operating hours, by the table and by the hour. A good fit for smaller gatherings, birthdays and meetups without reserving the whole pool.
Mesh banners at the pool, a digital display ad on the rotating slideshow by the concession stand, and 30-second spots on the pool's own family-friendly radio station. The club can help with design and production.
A full concession stand is open at the pool. Cash, card and Venmo are all accepted.
One-time and recurring donations go directly to opening, operating and maintaining the Lawson pool. Volunteer-action committees are open to anyone who wants to help.
Support the pool and put your business in front of a community audience all summer.

Yes! Outside food and non-alcoholic drinks are welcome for parties. Please do not bring any glass. We do ask that guests help keep the pool clean and dispose of trash properly.
Absolutely! Simple decorations are welcome, but we ask that nothing be attached in a way that damages property. Please avoid confetti, glitter, or anything that may end up in the pool.
Of course. Parents, grandparents, and guests are welcome to enjoy the party atmosphere even if they aren't swimming. Party guests that are non swimmers will be provided a paper bracelet, to designate them as non-swimmers.
It can be! If you would like the concession stand to remain open for snacks during your before or after hour party, please let us know. Understand, that to staff the concession stand and remain open, there is an additional $50.00 charge.
This is a reservation option during normal operating hours. Table rentals are a great option for smaller gatherings, birthdays, or meetups during normal pool hours without reserving the entire pool/party space.
We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for weekends and holidays, as summer dates fill quickly.
