Plan Your Montclair Visit: Indoor Pool, Swim Lessons & Activities
Montclair Community Center Omaha is a City of Omaha Parks and Recreation facility at 2304 South 135th Avenue, Omaha, Nebraska 68144. Located in southwest Omaha, it is especially useful for indoor swimming, swimming lessons, recreational activities and community programs.
Montclair has a public indoor swimming pool, scheduled aquatic programs and community activity spaces. Visitors should check the specific activity schedule before traveling because pool hours, lessons, open swim and other events do not necessarily follow the same timetable.
Information reviewed October 26, 2026. Scheduled classes and facility access can change with school holidays, maintenance, events and staffing.
Montclair Community Center Hours
Montclair has separate schedules for general facility activities, lap swimming, public swimming and organized swimming lessons.
The published third-party business hours are inconsistent, so a reliable seven-day building schedule could not be independently confirmed from the City’s current facility page.
| Activity | What visitors should know |
|---|---|
| Community center | Call 402-444-4956 to confirm current front-desk and building access hours. |
| Public open swim | Recent 2026 pool information identifies weekend-afternoon public swim opportunities. Confirm the exact times for the intended date. |
| Lap swimming | Separate scheduled sessions; availability may change because of lessons or other aquatic activities. |
| Swimming lessons | Scheduled by seasonal session, age, ability and class type. |
| Other recreation | Program-specific hours; check the organizer’s calendar or official registration listing. |
For a practical explanation of why recreation buildings, swimming pools and scheduled activities can have different opening hours, read our community recreation center hours, pool-access and fees guide.
What Can You Do at Montclair Community Center?
Program schedules and activity availability are not permanent. For any visit that depends on one particular amenity, ask the staff what is available on your selected date.
Montclair Indoor Pool: Public Swimming & Rules
Montclair’s indoor pool is one of Omaha’s public indoor aquatic facilities. Unlike a summer-only outdoor pool, it supports scheduled swimming activities beyond the outdoor swimming season.
Open swim versus lap swim

|---|---|
| Open Swim | Family recreation and general pool use during designated public swimming times. |
| Lap Swim | Exercise and continuous swimming during designated lane sessions. |

| Private Lessons | Individual instruction during booked lesson sessions. |
Important pool supervision rules
- Children age 9 and younger must be accompanied by a parent or responsible person age 16 or older.
- Children age 5 and younger must remain within arm’s reach of their parent or responsible supervisor while in the water.
- Children age 8 and younger are not permitted in designated lap swim sessions.
- For lap swimming, children ages 9–15 require an adult on the pool deck.
- Pool-deck admission rules apply to accompanying visitors, including those who are not swimming.
- Swimming areas can close temporarily for maintenance, safety, lessons or other scheduled activities.
2026 Swim Lessons: Age Groups & Fees
The City of Omaha’s official recreation registration system lists several Montclair swimming lesson programs for fall 2026.
Most listed group swimming lessons run for eight weeks. Private and semi-private lessons operate on a different schedule.

How to Register for Montclair Swimming Lessons
Use the City of Omaha’s official WebTrac recreation registration website.
In the activity search, find swimming programs at Montclair Community Center.
Choose the activity matching the swimmer’s age and skill level. Check age calculations because eligibility can depend on the session start date.
Check day, start time, session length, location, instructor information and registration deadline.
Check the total cost, possible resident/nonresident pricing, cancellation terms and whether a class is full.
Use the official registration system and complete the required participant details and waivers.
Pay through the official portal if registration is available. Save the confirmation and check the first-day instructions.
Other Pool Programs at Montclair
Recreational Swim League
The City of Omaha has published a recreational swimming league at Montclair for ages 7–14. Its program description includes endurance, stroke technique, lap-swimming etiquette and preparation for a swim meet.
A published session requires swimmers to demonstrate the ability to swim 25 yards without touching the pool bottom. The listed $65 fee includes a swim cap and meet entry for that session.
Private and semi-private lessons
Private swimming lessons can be useful for swimmers who need individualized instruction. The published fall 2026 private-lesson package costs $175 for six 30-minute sessions.
Availability is limited by instructors, pool lanes and seasonal scheduling. Confirm future-session pricing and age eligibility before registration.
Lifeguard training
Omaha’s registration system has also listed lifeguard training at Montclair. These programs may have minimum age, swimming ability and certification requirements.
Use the official activity listing for prerequisites rather than assuming ordinary swim-lesson eligibility also qualifies someone for lifeguard training.
Visitors considering other public indoor swimming facilities can compare this information with our Matt Dishman Community Center indoor pool and swimming rules guide. That facility is in Portland, Oregon, and follows a separate city’s fees and supervision policies.
Gym, Pickleball & Community Activities
Montclair Community Center is also associated with indoor community recreation activities.
Published local recreation directories have listed pickleball and community fitness sessions. However, the available third-party pickleball calendars are not sufficiently current to guarantee a particular 2026 court time.
Before attending a gym activity
- Ask whether the gym is available for public recreation or reserved for an organized group.
- Confirm the sport and scheduled time.
- Ask whether the activity is drop-in or requires advance registration.
- Check age requirements and participant fees.
- Ask what equipment you must bring.
- Confirm whether the activity is operated by the City or an independent organizer.
Organized groups can have separate participation rules and fees from City recreation programs.
