News & updates Project history Work at the pool

What's happening now

  • System testing: Crews are running pumps and filters, dialing in chemical treatment, and checking controls. Water may look cloudy at times during chemical balancing - that's expected.
  • Scenario stress-tests: We simulate a variety of real-world scenarios over extended periods of time to confirm systems will perform as expected.
  • Hiring: The Recreation Department is building the team we need to operate the pool. Right now, lifeguards are especially needed. Learn more and apply

What's next

  • On-site prep: After key commissioning milestones are achieved, Aquatics staff will begin a period of on-site training and preparations while final testing and calibration continues.

What the new pool will offer

  • 27-meter competition pool with diving well and 12 lap lanes
  • 3,177 sq. ft. activity pool with three 25-yard lap lanes and warm water year-round
  • Multi-purpose community room
  • Rooftop pavillion
