Hamme Pool is Fairbanks's indoor community pool at Lathrop High School.
Hamme Pool is an indoor community pool at Lathrop High School in Fairbanks, used for lap swim, open swim, family swim, and training sessions. The appeal is practical rather than scenic: a clean, well-run pool with locker rooms, scheduled access, and a predictable indoor environment. It is a straightforward place for routine practice, lessons, and casual community swim time, with the main planning question being whether the pool is open when you need it.
