Pool Closings & Schedules

Updated: 9.1.26

(7/29) The pool is closed due to damage from Monday's storm. There was heavy flooding in the mechanical room, and the full extent of the damage is still unknown. Once the area is dry, the filtration and chemical equipment will be tested. However, it is likely that several of our pumps and control panels will need to be replaced.

The pool will remain closed until further notice. 

(8/14) Repair work is ongoing. 

(8/17) Repair work is progressing. The current plan is to reopen soon after Labor Day.

(8/25) Repair work is progressing. Still projecting to reopen soon after Labor Day.

(9/1) We are planning to reopen the pool on September 8.
