Area swimming pools open Saturday
Greene County’s three public swimming pools will open for the season Saturday.
The Alpha Aquatic Center in Waynesburg will open at noon, while the Carmichaels Pool in Carmichaels and Mon View Pool in Greensboro will open at 1 p.m. during each day of the Memorial Day weekend.
Following Memorial Day, the three pools will be closed while school is in session, but will reopen daily beginning May 30.
Carmichaels and Mon View will close for the season Aug. 15, while the Alpha Aquatic Center will be closed Aug. 31 through Sept. 4 as students return to school.
Alpha will then reopen for Labor Day weekend and officially close for the season Sept. 7.
Pool admission prices and hours vary per location.
Swim lessons are also available at two of the county pools. Sign-ups for the swim lessons will be held from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. May 26 at Alpha Aquatic Center, and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. May 28 at Carmichaels Pool. Lessons are $25 per class, and the payment should be made upon signing up for classes.
Each class is designed for swimmers of certain skill levels. Class instructors will determine in which class to place each swimmer.
A minimum of five swimmers must be signed up for each class to run.
The maximum for each class is 15 swimmers. Some classes may be combined or canceled due to enrollment. Refunds will only be given if the Department of Recreation cancels a class.
