Q: What time is the Gymnasium open for recreational use?

A: The Pool Schedule is also subject to change due to lifeguard availability. We welcome calls to verify the pool status.

When there's a last minute cancellation of pool hours, we use the list to notify frequent daytime swimmers in order to save them a trip and give them time to plan an alternate activity that day.
