As approved by the Centre Regional Rec. Authority on 14 Jan 2010

During Summer 2009, Welch Pool hosted 19,167 recreational visits and the renewed Park Forest Pool hosted 30,929 recreational visits. Since Welch Pool will not open in 2010 due to construction (follow the Welch Pool construction HERE), the following actions have been taken by the Recreation Authority to maximize the safe use of Park Forest Pool:

  • Expanded the rental of the High School Natatorium (for the Welch Pool swim team practices, lessons, camp swims, lap swims, general swims). The full HS Natatorium summer schedule is available HERE.
  • Adult Lap Swim times at Park Forest Pool have been expanded on Saturdays, Sundays & Holidays (for 2010, 10 AM-Noon).
  • For the first time, Park Forest Pool will open on Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend.
  • The Swim Meet Schedule at Park Forest Pool will be optimized to minimize pool closures.
  • Reduced the admission discount and limited the number of “Group Admissions” to one group (max. group size of 35) per 2-hour period.
  • While the overall schedule below includes LAP SWIMS, a schedule focused on LAP SWIMS ONLY is provided HERE.
