Pool Heater & Lap Swim Update
The Recreation Pool is heated and remains available for Recreation Swim, and other scheduled activities.

Repairs to the Competition Pool heater are still underway, with additional contractor work scheduled to be completed within the next week.

At this time, the Competition Pool heater is not operating. The pool has recently maintained overnight temperatures between 78–80 degrees; however, water temperatures may fluctuate depending on weather conditions. When weather conditions allow, staff will tarp the pool overnight to help retain heat. The pool cannot be tarped during windy conditions.

Beginning Monday, August 17, Lunch Lap Swim will share pool space with the high school PE classes. The classes will use lanes 7–13, including the shallow lane, through Friday, September 4.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through the heater repairs.

🌡️ Pool Heater Update

Just a heads up! Our contractor had to complete some last-minute work, and with tonight’s cooler temperatures and wind, the pool may be a little cooler than expected tomorrow.

The good news is that we expect the temperature to return to normal later in the day as the pool has time to warm back up. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we finish up this work! 💦
