The Association of Poinciana Villages (APV) Victory Pool had its grand opening in 2015. The pool and deck holds a capacity of 250 people and has an integrated children’s play area with water features and has programs like aqua aerobics, children to adult swim lessons, and there is also a concession stand. This pool is not heated.

The Aquatic Center of Vance Harmon (625 Country Club Dr.) is Poinciana’s second community pool and was completed in 2017. The APV has partnered with several organizations to utilize this facility—the Special Olympics, who have their practices and meets there, Osceola County Fire Rescue, who use the facility to train responders on underwater rescue, Liberty and Poinciana High School’s swim teams, and the Kissimmee Dive Shop, which offers swim lessons beginning in kindergarten as well as scuba diving lessons. When the pool is not in use for scheduled activities, it will be open to the homeowners of APV at a reduced rate.

The pool rates are: individual daily rate $5, individual weekly rate $15, individual monthly rate $30, individual yearly rate $50, family monthly rate $40 and family annual rate $60.

The Victory Pool and the Aquatic Center Pool are open Wednesday thru Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., weather permitting.

For more information about the Victory Pool, call 863-4270900 ext. 504, and for the Aquatic Center, 863-427-0900 ext. 701.
