Pool Re-Opening:Thursday, September 24 at 5:30 a.m.See Updated Schedule Below...Dear Valued Patron, The Mount Rainier Pool will re-open early on Thursday, September 24 with an expanded schedule:
For more detailed information, please view our updated schedule below with our "appointment only" reservation system. As restrictions and best practices change, we will make adjustments to our schedule. Please read our updated guidelines that includes taking a shower at home before using the pool. The pool was scheduled to be closed September 14 through 27 for defect work on our expansion joint caulking. This is common for capital projects of this size, and we apologize for the inconvenience. Staff and the contractor was able to complete the project early, while ensuring the quality of the repair. The District chose to perform the repair now with limited services rather than later in Phase 3 or 4, when we are able to offer swim lessons, host swim teams and other larger community programming. We will continue to place all passes and memberships on hold until after the closure. SHOWER AT HOME Come ready to swim with your swimsuit on under your clothes. With showers closed, it is critical that everyone takes a cleansing shower before arriving at the pool. Showering before entering the pools helps ensure clean, clear and safe water conditions. If you have not used the Mount Rainier Pool since our August 3 Reopening, please read the District's Guidelines for Lap Swimming, Water Walking and Water Exercise. (Click links above to view specific guidelines.) NEW SCHEDULE (EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 24) We were able to add evening hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:00-7:30pm. We will still be requiring appointments before you swim as part of Phase 2 of the State's Safe Start Plan. See Below for a table of the available swim times and how to make an appointment.
