The Main Pool at Sheppard AFB, TX, is a seasonal outdoor recreational facility primarily serving base personnel, their families, and authorized guests. It typically operates during the warmer months, offering amenities such as swimming lanes, a diving board, a water slide, and a shallow area suitable for children.
Specific and consistently published temperature information for the Main Pool is not readily available. As an outdoor recreational facility, its temperature generally fluctuates with the ambient weather conditions, and it is usually maintained at a comfortable swimming temperature during its operational season.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The pool is open seasonally from Memorial Day to Labor Day and is cash-only. Hours change frequently, so checking the outdoor recreation Facebook page is recommended. The main pool was renovated in 2017, and both pools are generally considered nice and worth the money. Staff is friendly, and the water is not overly chlorinated. However, the facility can get very crowded, especially mid-afternoons in summer, leading to long, disorganized lines and a lack of COVID spacing. There are conflicting opinions on cleanliness, with some finding facilities relatively clean and others describing them as not very clean. A common complaint is the allowance of personal speakers, which can be irritating.

Renovations to Sheppard’s main pool were recently completed (2017). It’s busiest during mid-afternoons in summer months but there is typically a lane or two that remain open for laps. The pool is centrally located, facilities are relatively clean, staff is friendly, and water isn’t overly chlorinated.
Can be crowded at times. Not a very clean facility. They shouldn't allow people to bring their own speakers because that can become a little irritating. Use at your own risk.
It is only open from Memorial Day-Labor Day. It is also cash-only Otherwise it’s great, both pools are nice and worth the money.
Long lines. No COVID spacing. Everyone "finds a friend" at the front of the line. Long wait and disorganized getting in.
