A few positive changes for the 2021 pool season…
We will be self managing again this year, so we will have the freedom to make some of the changes to our pool season. We are looking to do the following:
- Open at 11am on Saturdays.
- Adult lap swim from 8-9pm during week nights.
- Concession stand will be open during breaks.
- Sell pre-packaged foods, snacks, and drinks.
- Staffed by young volunteers.
- All proceeds will go to the swim team for fundraising.
- HRA will be using our pool on Tues/Thurs from 1:30-3:30pm BUT will be limited to 20 HRA swimmers per hour.
- Swim team will have meets against other pools BUT they are slated to be virtual at this point which means they we only have our team swimming at our pool.
Please note: we will monitor usage of the early Saturday hours, adult lap swim, and concession stand usage and adjust accordingly as the summer progresses.
We look forward to having a successful season and we hope you will support our most important asset and become a pool member this season! Join by April 30th to get 5 free one day passes for the pool.
