The Air Dome

The Instructional Pool will be closed on Saturday, April 10th starting at 1pm and will re-open on Monday, April 12th for regular programming starting at 6am. During this time, Open Swimming will be available in a portion of the Performance Pool.

The Air Dome helped conserve energy which in turned helped our environment. The Air Dome offered protection from the cold winter weather for the children who attended swimming lessons and Open Swimming and for the senior community who swam laps and did water aerobics. We hope that you were one of the many who benefited and enjoyed having the dome up. Overall, we feel that the Air Dome is a huge success as we heard a lot of encouraging and supportive feedback from you, our community. We really care about your suggestions and feedback, as this is your pool, so please keep the communication coming.
