Main Pool/Warm Water Pool

Phase I will consist of INDIVIDUAL WORKOUTS ONLY.  Specifically, this means Lap Swimming only in our Main Pool-two swimmers per lane. Circle swimming only. One directional swim as per state guidelines. Splitting of the lane is not allowed. The Warm Water Pool will be for individual vertical workouts-one person per designated location. 

IMPORTANT NOTE: Groups will not be allowed at this time (i.e. families, caregivers, etc.) Individuals must be able to access the facility independently, including navigating steps, curbs, and emergency evacuation routes. There will be a ONE WAY directional traffic flow. You will enter through the lobby of the main building and exit through the pool fire exit door. Please contact us directly for further clarification prior to attending if you are unsure.
