AUGUST 4 SCHEDULE UPDATE

No Lap Swim, August 6-8, 9am -Noon

Dear Valued Customer/Community Member,

Get more lap and family swim opportunities starting on August 4th! The Mount Rainier Pool will transition between swim lessons, ending with college staff members returning to college and school district swim teams starting their season on August 26. This will open a nice window of family and lap swimming between August 4 and 25. 

IMPORTANT! NO LAP SWIM, AUGUST 6-8, 9am-Noon

South King Fire will have trainings at the Mount Rainier Pool on August 6-8 between 9am-Noon. There will be no lap swimming in the deep end, but we will still have programming (water walking and water exercise in the shallow end.)

UPDATE! CLOSED SUNDAYS

Unfortunately, a good portion of our staff from this summer will be going back to college. This will force us to close on Sundays until adequate staff is available. We will also close in the afternoons on weekdays (Monday-Friday) between 2-4pm for cleaning and training. Even though we are closed in the middle afternoons, there still is adequate water walking, family, and lap swims available on weekdays. We still have adequate weekday staff and will have the following operational hours.

  • Monday-Friday, 5:30am-2pm and 4-9pm
  • Saturday, 8am-2pm
  • Sunday, Closed
