The following day, new operating hours will take effect. The pool will be open on weekdays from 9 a.m. till 5:30 p.m., and on weekends from 9 a.m. till 4:30 p.m.

Beginner swim team registration begins on Wednesday, Aug. 28 from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m., and a water aerobics course will begin at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 4.
