When it comes to keeping things running smoothly, these guys know the drills! 🛠️💦

We want to send a huge thank you to The Plumbing & Heating Company Inc. for renewing their sponsorship of the Karns Lions Pool! We know a thing or two about needing good plumbing around a pool, and we are incredibly grateful to have such a reliable, community-minded business in our corner year after year.

Did you know they've also expanded into heating & air conditioning?

📈 LOOKING TO FLOOD YOUR BUSINESS WITH LOCAL VISIBILITY?
A donation of $500 or more gets you a custom 3'x4' banner printed and hung on the inside of our pool fence for the entire season (we cover the printing costs!). It’s the perfect way to show your community pride while getting daily exposure.

Craving pizza? We’ve got a Hoss of a sponsor to thank! 🍕🦁

A massive shoutout to Pizza Hoss Karns for stepping up once again as a Karns Lions Pool sponsor! Not only do they keep our community fed, but they also go above and beyond for our swimmers.

Even closer to our hearts, they generously provide free pizza for our end-of-season event with Knoxville Challenger Sports, supporting our weekly inclusive swim for children and adults with special needs. They are true community champions! ❤️🏊‍♂️

Just what the doctor ordered! ☀️💊

A major thank you to our returning sponsor, Vaughn Pharmacy, for their continued support of the Karns Lions Pool! As a trusted local staple in Powell, they’ve been taking care of Knox County health for years, and their sponsorship helps us keep our community active, healthy, and cooling off all summer long.

We love seeing neighbors supporting neighbors. 🪵🏊‍♀️

Only one week into the season and we’re already building an impressive lost and found collection.

Inventory your belongings before you leave and ask at the gate if you’ve left something behind.

05/30/2026

Saturday May 30, 2026. Opening delayed until noon.

Due to weather moving through the area this morning we are delaying opening. Please check back closer to noon in case things change.

Isolated storms are possible this afternoon. Remember we are required by law to clear swimmers out of the water whenever lightening is detected in the area, even if in the distance. Water must remain clear for 30 minutes after last detection. For safety the playground is also closed during this time (metal equipment and all). The safest location in a storm is in your car or inside 4 walls.
