Pool opens Saturday

Although the pool opening this weekend sounds a bit aggressive given high temps this weekend are expected to be in the high 60’s, we open the pool a week early to make sure everything is working, and approved and inspected a week early so we reduce the chance for issues the following week which is Memorial Day.  So far the pool seems to be shaping up and we are looking forward to another successful summer season.  Please check the blog for pool schedule and rules and as always if you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact us.

The bad news is the extended forecast for next week has high temps near 70 with a chance of showers. Remember the pool is heated so hearty souls feel free to take a dip.
