Spring has arrived, and the team at the Stayton Family Memorial Pool is thrilled to kick off another season of swim lessons! We are honored to provide essential water safety and swimming instruction to third-grade students from local schools.
In 2024, we proudly taught approximately 200 children, helping them build confidence in the water. Thanks to the generous support of the Kiwanis Club, students from St. Mary’s Elementary School, Mari-Linn School, Sublimity School, Cloverdale Elementary School, Santiam Elementary School, and Stayton Elementary School have the opportunity to learn vital swimming skills.
This year, excitement is at an all-time high as we anticipate welcoming 287 young swimmers in April 2025! Our dedicated instructors are inspired by this growth and can’t wait to witness each child’s progress as they develop their abilities and confidence in the water.
Let’s make this swim season the best one yet!
Student thank you cards to Pool staff following 2024 Kiwanis sponsored lessons.
Our spring pool schedule begins today! Below you will find the current schedule:
Looking for the perfect way have fun this spring break? Join us for Open Swim all week long! Bring your friends, family, and fun vibes for a splashtastic time!
Slide into fun at the Stayton Family Memorial Pool this spring break! We will be offering special open swims all week long. Can't wait to see you there!
The Stayton Family Memorial Pool is home to the Stayton Eagles and Cascade Cougar swim teams.
Coach Curtis Brown, alongside the Stayton captains, Leah Ellerbee and Elizabeth Young, have led the team for the 2024-2025 season. Captain Leah Ellerbee has had a memorable season by breaking four school records, the 500 Freestyle, 200 IM, 100 Backstroke, and highest overall points. The Eagles swim team is preparing to bring the heat to the upcoming OSAA State championships, with the boys in 4th and girls in 6th for district championships there are endless possibilities for the team.
The Cascade Cougars are led by Coach Shane Parlette and Cascade captains, Dixie Mandyck and Cole Tofflemire. The Cougars girls placed 8th in districts while the boys placed 7th. We are looking forward to witnessing the girls take on both the 200 medley relay and the 200 freestyle relay at State. With just a few practices away, they are putting in the hard work and time to succeed as a team.
Swim teams thrive on strong group dynamics and teamwork, not just individual skill. The whole team profits when swimmers work together, help one another, and have a shared goal. Creating a supportive team atmosphere promotes trust, motivation, and a feeling of community. The Stayton Family Memorial Pool has supported the Stayton and Cascade High School Swim Team throughout the years and has played a big part in their success. From the atmosphere and familiarity, it is the home of both teams. By the continuous support and relationship with the Stayton Pool, students feel safe and a sense of belonging.
Home is where the heart lies, and the heart of these teams starts at the Stayton Family Memorial Pool. ????

Great news... the slide is back up and running! Repairs have been made and we are excited to have the slide back up and running for the weekend open swim. Below is an updated schedule:
Good news! Our facility is ready to reopen next Monday, February 24th along with a new schedule, which you can view below.
One important note that the slide is not operational quite yet, but we are working on the repairs. Once it's up and running, we will update the schedule and make the announcement here.
Thank you again for your continued support!
On the afternoon of February 16th, a mechanical failure occurred in the Pool building’s mechanical room when a fitting on the main pump blew out. This caused significant water damage, including a hole in the ceiling and flooding in both the mechanical room and attic area. Fortunately, there were no injuries, and staff was able to promptly shut off the pump upon discovering the issue.
As a result of this incident, the facility will remain closed at least through the remainder of this week while we carry out necessary repairs to both the pump and the water damage. We will provide updates here as more information becomes available.
To accommodate for this unexpected closure, we will be extending all memberships by one week.
We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding during this time, and we are committed to reopening as soon as it is safe to do so.
