POOL SCHEDULE & PROGRAMS
Summer Pool Schedule
effective June 8 - Aug 18
WAIT LISTS
On warm days, we tend to fill to our capacity. When that happens we will start a wait list, but there is no guarantee of entry at that point. This most typically happens during Family Recreation Swim sessions, but can happen at any time.
FAMILY RECREATION SWIM
If you are looking for unstructured play time in the pool, you should come during a Family Recreation Swim session. We may have limited space for Lap swimming during these sessions, but there is no guarantee. Do not come during Lap Swim if you want to play in the water, or have children under 16 years.
We hire LIFEGUARDS year-round!
Certified Lifeguards can APPLY ONLINE now
LIFEGUARD CLASS
Lifeguard Training Course provides American Red Cross certification to participants who pass the written and practical portions of the course. Lifeguard Training is provided throughout the year, with our main goal of training new Lifeguards who want to apply to work at our pools.
