Attention: Kroc Aquatics Center Update (April 20)

The Activity Pool and Hot Tub will re-open on Monday, April 20th at 5:30 AM. The Competition Pool will remain closed until further notice.

Lap Swimming information: While the Competition Pool is closed, the Activity Pool lap lane will be available for lap swimmers by reservation only from 5:45 AM-7:45 AM as well as from 12:00 PM-2:00 PM. Please note that there will be 3 swimmers at a time that will be using the lap lane, and that the temperature of the Activity Pool is 3-4 degrees warmer than the Competition Pool. Each swimmer will need to reserve a 30 minute block by emailing Brad Pierce at Brad.Pierce@use.salvationarmy.org

We are trying to accommodate as many members as possible for use of the lap lane. Members will be able to make one reservation per day, and the slots will be on a first-come, first-serve basis. This will prevent someone from reserving all 5 days at one time and give opportunities for others to reserve part of the lane. If anyone no-shows for a reservation without emailing Brad, they will not be able to reserve again.

We will continue to keep you informed with updates on our progress and anticipated reopening timelines.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support.
