Some do

Haha I wish

Yep. for swim team and water polo!

Not mine, but a school nearby does

Not many middle or elementary but high schools yes mine has a swimming movie night one weekend in a while

Not my school!

Most public schools, no, some do, but not most

A lot of them yes, my middle school had one as well.

Our school had a full size indoor pool, when I was a freshman they were in the process of removing the High Dive (Insurance reasons) We also had a planetarium, to look at a replica of the night sky, and Identifying constellations. I graduated in 88.

Only in high school.

Some do many go to the public pools

i think it depends on the size of the school, mine didn't

My grade school did. We all had to take lifeguarding classes.

Some do.

Not very many of them.

Some. Our town is small but we have an agreement with the college to let the little kids have classes there part of the year so they learn to swim.

Of course.

some do. The rich kids will complain

My middle school had a soda machine, but it was only open for use after school.

High school.

UK person here. I went to secondary school (high school) in the early 80s and my school had a pool. Fair enough it was a very *small* pool - affectionately nicknamed "The Puddle" - but a pool nonetheless.

Some high schools. Swim teams and water polo teams kind of need them.

The lucky ones might. There again, there's all kinds here.

Some rich ones have two.

More likely, a district has 1 pool for all the High Schools to use for swim teams. It can also operate as a community pool. Both the district I grew up in, and the one I taught in had mandatory swim lessons for either 4th or 5th grade. Because of segregation, the grandparents/great grandparents of POC kids in school today may have never learned to swim. There can still be racist barriers. We have a horrific rate of kids drowning in pools, bayous, creeks, retention ponds, and teaching kids to swim is vital to ending that. The district I taught in had yearly swim lessons for severely disabled kids and PT/OT that used the pool. It is hard to find a regular swim class that can work correctly with these medically fragile kids, so doing it through the schools means the instructors have the additional training needed. Both places have very low cost passes for community swim in the summer.

I left my comprehensive English school in 1973, we had an indoor swimming pool.

Some of the nicer or newer high schools do. Elementary schools usually don't.

Yes! Brand new one, too!

Not always. Though at my high school we liked to joke that there's a swimming pool on the roof thanks to a ceiling ladder on the top floor.

I live in Australia, my son's high school has a pool and my mother-in-law's primary school has a pool (she used to teach there). The pools aren't huge, but are used for swimming lessons and swimming carnivals. A private school near where I used to live had a huge sports complex and would have lessons in swimming, dance, basketball, gymnastics etc for the public at their complex. A nice way of getting kids into sports at the school and raising funds for the school at the same time.

The school board has to decide on that sort of amenity and someone has to choose how to spend that tax money.

In NZ they do too, Oz they don't sadly, more kids need swimming lessons! Thats what governments need to help parents fund.

When I was in high school the way the seniors pranked the freshmen is by telling them that their class was on the third floor by the swimming pool. There was no swimming pool or 3rd floor.

Only the rich schools

Quebec, Canada here. We had one and we also had a hockey arena, football/soccer field, a gymnasuim big enough to fit four gym classes and a track field. I guess We had it good, for a public high school.

Not Most Of them.

Mine doesn't

also my highschool in Italy does

none of the schools i went to/will have it

My British school had a swimming pool
