YAY!! The NEW state law of 14 and under needs to be accompanied to the pool by an adult of 18 years or older is now just a suggestion and not a LAW. Please disregard the pool signage, as they are still having meetings and asking for public discussion on the law, there very well could be a similar law made just a younger age.

After public outcry, Oregon Health Authority staff are proposing to downgrade a public pools requirement for an adult to accompany swimmers younger than 14 to a recommendation instead, the editorial board writes. While the proposed reversal is welcome, the rule never should have gotten as far as it....

Today is Pool 🏊 OPENING Day!! 1pm - 4:30pm and Evening swim 6-8pm.

I want to address some questions we are getting.

Yes, for the next three days we will be following the NEW state law : 14 and under need to be supervised by an adult 18 years or older while visiting the pool during open swim hours.

Starting NEXT week: During the week we will be holding Aquatic Camps! We will have lifeguards and a pool Manager on deck at all times while camp kids swim during the 1-4:30pm swim. We have some fun games planned : water Bingo, Pirates and B***y week, Christmas in July, Doggie Days of summer and so on. Your pool pass and daily rates DOES cover your entry.
