The Pool

An olympic-size pool, open Tuesday to Sunday from Memorial Day to Labor Day. On Wednesdays you can bring an in-town guest for $10, and the Fourth of July swimming meet is a fixture.

Pool parties

Members may reserve the pool and the covered deck, with extra lifeguards hired for it. Choose any two hours between 1:00 and 7:30.

Children get out from 3:00 to 3:15 and 6:30 to 6:45 for adult swim and water testing, so you may want to use that window for refreshments. Or pick a stretch that avoids the break altogether. The earliest party time on Sunday is 1:45 to 3:45.
