Municipal Swimming Pool

During the summer months the City funds the use of the community pool for recreation purposes including swimming lessons and water aerobics. A fee is charged to the public and used to partially offset the maintenance, utility and other costs of operating the pool.

A number of seasonal employees are hired each year, including a Pool Manager, Assistant Pool Manager, Swim Instructors and Lifeguards, to staff and supervise the use of the pool. The pool has been open additional hours starting in the 2012 swim season for private swim lessons and water aerobics. Email the pool for more information.
