The problem with the pump has been fixed, and now we need to let the water clear by circulating through the filtration system. We will keep the pool closed for the rest of the day (Wednesday) and reopen on Thursday at 10am.
I apologize for the inconvenience that this closing may cause you. The lap pool continues to be open for our over 16 year old lap swimmers.
