December is here and so is some foul weather! We went from very cold and dry to not as cold and very wet so stay safe out there, especially on the roads. This type of weather is great to swim in - it makes the pool feel warmer and is easier to dive into! With the holiday season approaching, make sure you double check our schedule changes below. We will be on a modified schedule from 12/18 until 1/2. Parking Lot Expectations We’ve recently had complaints regarding driving behavior in...
