There is a rumor going around that we are permanently closed due to the chlorine issue we had last week. We only missed morning lap on Monday. Only two more days of school! Full season starts Saturday.

Many drowning incidents occur when people are actively swimming or simply spending time around water. Infants, toddlers, and children who are not yet water competent should always have an adult within arm’s reach, providing constant “touch supervision.” Learn more about supervision at: https://ndpa.org/supervision/

Great news! The chlorine is on the way! We will be open as usual today in the last week of pre season hours!.

We have passed inspection! Tonight we will be open the following hours.
5pm-6pm Adult Lap
6pm-8pm Family Swim

Note the water is around 78 degrees but with the cool air we do not anticipate anyone staying in for long but since it is opening night...

We will take a look at the weather for the rest of the weekend and may have to play it by ear if it is too cold or rainy.

Come and pick up your passes. Passes are discounted $10 through 8pm Memorial Day. You can purchase them on line at forpool.org or in person.

Swim lesson registration for sessions 3 and 4 will go live tomorrow am. Make sure you create an account with Metroparks ahead to save some time and headache.
