Some of the best swimming on Cape Cod may be on our beautiful beaches in the summer.
But what about the winter when cold winds cause sore bones and achy joints could be so easily alleviated by taking a therapeutic dip in a pool.
While pools on Cape Cod are not uncommon, there are a few more worthy of your time in the winter. Check out our recommendations below.
Cape Cod Resort in Conference Center of Hyannis
This popular business meeting location features multiple salons, coffee bars, food services and professional spaces, but it also has an indoor swimming pool, sauna and Jacuzzi. 35 Scudder Ave, Hyannis. Website.
Cape Codder Resort and Spa
The Cape Codder’s heated outdoor saltwater pool, called Rainbow Falls, provides a marvelous warming swim when temperatures drop low. If you’re seeking a more adventurous experience, try their 30,000 square foot water park, complete with high- and low-speed waterslides, a Jacuzzi, wave pool, and saunas. 1225 Iyannough Road, Hyannis. Their hours are also fairly extensive.
Bayside Resort
The indoor pool at Bayside is kept at 84 degrees all year, making for an excellent retreat from the cold. Hours kept are flexible for all schedules: the pool is open every day from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., with an adult-only hour from 10 to 11 p.m. There is also a bar and arcade room on site. 225 Route 28, West Yarmouth.
Cape Point Hotel
This establishment has one of the region’s largest salt water indoor pools. The salt water system keeps the waters cleaner and feels better on the skin than high-chlorine environments. After your swim, try one of their redwood saunas before stepping back out into the cold. 476 Main St, West Yarmouth.
Mansion House
If you’re on Martha’s Vineyard, the place to go swimming in the winter is the Mansion House. They operate an Olympic-grade pool as part of a larger health club.

The heated waters will add to the ambiance and take you away from the wintry surroundings outdoors.
