Summer is over and the pools are closed. Where are indoor pools in Chapel Hill?

We have a pretty good selection of indoor pools for year around swimming. Take a look at my list below and let me know if I missed any. You may also be interested in my page describing which Chapel Hill neighborhoods have neighborhood pools.

Town of Chapel Hill has 2 Indoor Pools

Swimming is available with a daily pass or you can purchase packages. We are lucky to have 2 great indoor pools provided by the Town of Chapel Hill

Chapel Hill Community Center Pool

110 South Estes Drive, Chapel Hill

(located across from the main Post Office) You can’t see it from the road it’s well hidden. It’s been recently renovated.
Telephone: 968-2790

Homestead Aquatic Center

(919.968.2799) is fairly new and nice. It’s right off MLK Drive and located in Homestead Park.

There is also an indoor pool at the Orange County Sportsplex in Hillsborough

UNC’s Bowman Gray Indoor Pool

If you are a student or a full or part time employee of UNC you are eligible to use the Bowman Gray Indoor Pool. The web site has information about fees and schedules. Beware of the campus parking problem! Remember buses are free and there are lots of park and ride lots around.
This Olympic-length pool includes two 50-meter, six 25 meter, and six 25 yard lanes and is accessible through the Woollen men’s and women’s locker rooms.

Chapel Hill Carrboro YMCA

The indoor pool for the Chapel and Carrboro YMCA is located on MLK near the Estes Rd. intersection. It’s been there for a very long time. I remember taking my plump 6 month old for baby swimming lessons in the 1980’s. So many memories of the Y, it was the only indoor pool in town back then. Here is a link to membership information

UNC Wellness Center

This is my first choice now. The UNC Wellness Center is a wonderful facility and has the whole package. Swim, walk ,use the weight machines, have a massage, take a class then go over to Brixx for lunch and have a healthy salad or because you have worked out so hard have a pizza and beer.

Hollow Rock Swim and Racquet Club

This is a good location if you live on the North side of town and like to swim laps. Hollow Rock has been around for a long time. The club has a 25-meter 8 lane heated lap pool that is open year round. During the colder months the lap pool is protected by a high quality “bubble”, making swimming possible year-round. If you know of any other indoor pools in Chapel Hill please let me know.

Marianne was our agent when we purchased our home in Chatham County. She is extremely knowledgeable about the Triangle area, specific neighborhoods and builders. Marianne was very thorough and did an excellent job representing us during the entire process; from finding a house, negotiating the offer, and handling all the closing details. We highly recommended Marianne.

Marianne helped us buy a beautiful home in Chapel Hill while we were living in Pennsylvania. She was a pleasure to work with and accommodated our schedule perfectly during the few times we were able to be in the area. She patiently drove us around for many hours and several days, helping us rule out every possibility. Our final decision was made without a doubt! We felt very confident in Marianne's guidance throughout the entire home buying process. Her thorough knowledge and experience was very evident. She was there for us every step of the way, especially when we could not be there in person.

Marianne and Chip were incredibly helpful throughout the new home building process, especially as we were living in Austin! They were both super pleasant, knowledgeable and responsive! We couldn't have done it without them.

Marianne did a fabulous job as our realtor. It was stressful to be relocating to an unfamiliar, new area from out of town, and Marianne was extremely helpful. She had so much experience and knowledge of the neighborhoods, schools, and services for our special needs child, and she was able to advise us on the best location for our family. Even in the middle of a winter storm she was out looking at houses for us, taking detailed videos so we could see the homes from out of state. She was very responsive and always available to answer our many questions about the area. She was very knowledgeable about the buying process and did a great job of negotiating on our behalf. When we got to Chapel Hill, Marianne gave us several different tours, and even took the time to show our son playgrounds all over town. We are thrilled with the home we bought and couldn’t have done it without her. I highly recommend her!

Marianne Howell Wright is real Estate Agent; she works with her husband, Chip Wright who was in a construction building contractor. I have been in the area for year and knew quite well the market, and where I wanted my family to be, which I recommend to any new buyer. I contacted Marianne because I liked her videos and she seemed knowledgeable about the area. They both came straight away, which other agents do not do. In general, Marianne recommends new constructions over old houses because she often goes to new development meetings and is well aware of the new construction materials (lighter, better, and more efficient). However, I chose an old house. Being single, Marianne and Chip made sure that I understood what it meant to choose a house that required a lot of work. Once it became clear that I knew what it would take to fix the house, Chip and the inspector built a terrific file and Marianne negotiate and reduced the price significantly, which is rare for the area. I invested this extra money in the house and hired contractors with Chip helps. The house was ready for my family in a month. I would like to add that Chips was not keen to advice for contractors because some clients might be suspicions of his intentions, but if you ask, he would tell you.A house is everyone own choice. You are the only one who knows what your family likes, can afford, and able or not to handle small/big improvement projects. What chip can do is to give you a far opinion on the house condition. What Marianne can do is to build the best file in order to negotiate the best price for the buyer or the seller. I recommend this team because they are professional, reliable, and efficient.

Marianne is awesome! She was available to us during the entire process of building our new home, from selecting the lot through our final walk-through. Building a new home, especially while living out-of-state, can be nerve-wracking. Having Marianne represent us was such a smart decision. She is so knowledgeable about the new build process and construction, and brought things to our attention that we never would have thought about. She truly looked out for our best interests. She was available to us each and every time we needed her. We now have a brand new home that is well-built and gorgeous! We thank Marianne for the huge role she played in making that dream come true for us!

Marianne helped my husband and I find a new home in the Triangle area while we were still living out of state. We made a few trips to look at properties and Marianne always made the most of the short amount of time we had and helped us cover a lot of ground. She also spent plenty of time on the phone and over email with us educating us on the area and providing fantastic local insights. She is extremely responsive and will track down information for you. She kept us well informed throughout the buying process and helped us learn what to look for as first-time new construction buyers. She also was tremendously helpful in the new construction walk-throughs, pointing out things and asking questions I did not know to ask. I highly recommend Marianne, especially if you are moving to this area from out of state!
