Early-Release Days. Since all Thursdays in May (5/17 and 5/24) are early release days for Bellingham Public Schools, the pool will open at 1:15pm for Open Swim instead of 3pm. So, the pool will be available for Open Swim from 1:15 - 6:00pm on Thursday, May 17 and Thursday, May 24.

Hot Dogs and Root Beer Floats! Our "School's Out" Party will be held on Thursday, June 14, from 2-5pm (pending possible snow days).

This year we will be serving serving hot dogs and root beer floats. Grab your swim suit and towel; it's Party Time! Parents definitely need this too! Are you interested in helping?
