New Pool Reservation System
The pool will be opening on Saturday, May 29 with a brand new, user-friendly reservation system and increased capacity per 90-minute session. While continued COVID-19 state of Ohio protocols require reservations for swimmers to participate in open swim sessions, our new reservation system provides pool users a simple process for making reservations (for parties up to 8) and easy wait list options. Reservations will be available 24 hours in advance for all sessions the following day and open registration begins Friday, May 28.

Weekly pool schedules for open swim sessions, adult swims, water aerobics, and special pool nights will be available online at the link below. Pool availability and times may be subject to change.

Please check the website for updates on daily and weekly pool schedules. Pool schedules will be posted one week in advance.
