Pool Access

All Recreation Center users must check in at the operations desk before arriving on the pool deck. Ask the operations desk staff for a 'fish card' to show that you have checked in. Bring the fish card with you to the pool, show it to the lifeguard and leave it in the 'fish tank' on the pool desk. Take a look at the fish card policy.

Fish cards will not be handed out within 15 minutes of the pool closing.

Recreational and Lap Swim

Lap Swim

During Lap Swim times, six laps will be available for circle swimming (swim down the right side of the lane and back on the right side of the lane). The maximum number of swimmers per lane is six.

Rec Swim

Recreation Swim is a time when all or part of the pool will have no lane lines and be open for more recreational type activities. Also during this time, the diving board may be available. See the pool hours (above) for specific time information.
