We understand that some goggles may appear similar, and it can be frustrating when certain types are not permitted, these goggles and ones that look like this are not permitted.
With swimmers – especially children – often tossing or dropping goggles when removing them, there is always a risk of breakage. Because many goggles look alike, we don’t want our lifeguards to be responsible for determining which goggles contain glass, plexiglass or other materials which are acceptable.
If a prohibited goggle breaks in the pool, the consequences are significant. We would be required to shut down the pool, wait three days before draining, spend approximately two days draining the water to avoid overloading the system, then clean and power wash the pool. Refilling takes several more days followed by about a week to heat and treat the water. This process costs the City thousands of dollars not including the many hours of work required from the city employees.
For these reasons, we have chosen to prohibit goggles that could pose this risk. While we understand not everyone will agree with the policy, the potential cost, downtime, and safety concerns make it necessary precaution.

Thank you for understanding and cooperation.

Any Goggles that look similar to this photo are not allowed.

GREAT NEWS!!!!!! Our The Lake Mills Aquatic Center will be opening on Wednesday, June 3rd - a few days ahead of our scheduled June 8th opening!

The water may be a tad chillier then usual, but we know everyone is eager to get back in the pool, and we wanted to open as soon as we could.

Grab your suit, goggles ( but NOT these goggles in the photo as they are no longer allowed), and sunscreen, and come kick off the season with us! We can't wait to see everyone enjoying the pool again.

See you Wednesday!!!!
