We will be following the Governor’s phased approach to opening the pools. We will begin with:
We are confident in our abilities to safely open with this approach.
The Center for Disease Control states, “there is no evidence that COVID-19 can be spread to people through the water in pools, hot tubs or spas, or water playgrounds. Proper operation, maintenance, and disinfection (e.g. with chlorine and bromine) of pools, hot tubs or spas, and water playgrounds should inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19.”
With that in mind, we will be implementing new amenities to ensure the safety of our team and patrons. We will have sneeze guards, hand sanitizers available to customers. Also, our newly purchased EMV chip readers for no-touch contact when purchasing entry.
Besides our usual sanitation routines, we have put in place protocols for extra sanitation of common areas. We welcome the use of masks in common areas and on the lawns. We will not be allowing masks in the water.
You can pre-purchase your passes online or in-person when you arrive. The hot pools will now have single entry only on all days of the week. We are not implementing attendance limitations. We would like to remind everyone that we are not an essential business but are for recreation. It is every individual’s opportunity to choose to attend our facilities.
Our mission statement is “to ensure the public has access to healthful, clean, and inviting facilities for recreation and healing purposes.” Historically we have strived to fulfill this mission and intend to continue to do so in the future. We appreciate your patronage and are looking forward to an awesome summer season!

**2020 Entry Changes – Effective May 17, 2019**
We are excited to begin our 2020 summer season and would like to inform you of a few changes that have been implemented. Friday – Sunday & Holidays; When you purchase a combination pass you will now receive a token to be redeemed at the other facility. The combination pass will allow for one entry into each facility. The Olympic Swimming Complex will still have re-entry available if you need leave for a while. The World Famous Hot Pools location will be a one-time entry with the purchase of the combination pass. If you’d like to return a second time to the Hot Pools after already redeeming entry with your token, you will be required to pay the daily entry fee. Monday through Thursday the combination pass will be an all day pass at each facility.
The World Famous Hot Pools will no longer be offering an all day pass Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or Holidays. The Monday through Thursday daily fee of $6.00 will not change and allows entry all day.
Thank you for your patronage. We look forward to your visit and the opportunity to serve you!
