Swimming Lessons
One-week sessions of Red Cross Learn to Swim swimming lessons will be offered. Each lesson will be 45 minutes in length, for each of the 5 days. Sessions will be offered the week of July 25-29. Sessions are available either in the morning or late afternoon. Sign up for lessons at the pool office after June 1st!
Safety First
The pool board would like to remind the community of the need for supervision of children. The wading pool is supervised only by the adult bringing the child/children, as the lifeguards need to concentrate on the safety of the swimmers in the main pool. For the safety of toddlers and preschool children, patrons who swim in the main pool are not allowed to swim or play in the wading pool at any time. This includes break times, whether or not parents are present. Please go over the pool rules with your child/children before the season starts. As a board, we strive to offer a safe environment for all of our swimmers.
Guest Passes Available
If you plan on having a guest for a portion of the summer, please remember guests cannot use the pool on family passes.
If you or your family needs financial assistance obtaining a pool pass for the summer, please email for information and application.
