Recreation Pool Reopening October 10

Attention Members and Guests,

We are on track to reopen the recreation pool and sauna tomorrow, Friday, October 10. The pool hours can be found on our lane charts.

Due to piping problems while restarting our whirlpool pumps in preparation for reopening, we will not be able to reopen it at this time. We anticipate reopening our whirlpool on Tuesday, October 14, and will keep you updated on any changes.

Questions?

Please email us at [email protected].

Recreation Pool Update

Recreation pool maintenance began on Monday, September 22. This process will involve power washing the pool, re-grouting of the pool tiles, disinfecting our filter system and adding new sand to the filters. This is expected to take approximately two weeks, and if everything proceeds as planned, we anticipate re-opening the recreation pool area (pool, sauna, and whirlpool) the week of October 6.

Recreation Pool Closed Until Further Notice

Attention Members and Guests,
During our maintenance period, an issue with the filtration of our recreation pool was discovered. In order to accurately diagnose and complete repairs, the recreation pool will be CLOSED until further notice. This includes the sauna and whirlpool.
We will be extending the competition pool hours to match our normal recreation pool hours as much as possible to provide a space for swimmers! Please check our lane charts for those hours.
We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through these unexpected repairs, and we’ll continue to keep you updated as things progress.
