Open Swimming

The pool is open to the community 7 days per week. Lifeguards are on duty at all times during open swimming. No registration required, just drop in.

When you visit the pool for Open Swim, you will receive wristband good for the entire day. Wristbands differentiate swimmers from non-swimmers who are admitted for free. They also help our guards preserve Open Swim areas of the facility for open swimmers.

A non-swimmer is someone accompanying a swimmer who doesn’t enter the water at any time. Even getting a toe wet requires a wristband because our lifeguards are then responsible for your water safety.

Note about Laps for Open Swimmers
Adults are welcome to swim Laps during Open Swim times without paying extra fees. Choose to play with your kids or swim laps—your time in the pool is covered by your Open Swim drop-in fee or summer pass, all day. You can also register to pay for Lap Swim on a monthly basis which automatically admits you to Open Swim.
