Instructional Pool: 25 yards x 50 feet, 3.5-6 feet deep, supports 6 lanes, kept at 86 degrees F.
Performance Pool: 25 meters x 25 yards, 7 feet deep, supports 11 lanes, kept at 80 degrees F.

On Deck
Find places to sit and spread out your towel on our benches, deck, or on the grass. Food allowed on the grassy areas only. Bring your own lock for our outside lockers. You are welcome to bring pool toys, flotation devices, fins, kickboards, and paddles.

Locker Rooms and Showers
There are full men’s and women’s locker rooms that include indoor and outdoor showers. There are also two family changing areas. If you wish to use a locker, please bring your own lock and do not leave belongings overnight. Age policy: Children age 5 and under are allowed in the opposite-gender locker rooms when accompanied by an adult.

Front Desk and Offices
The front desk is the first place you’ll go when you arrive at the pool. Stop at the desk and give the staff-member your name and the activity you’re checking in for. At the front desk you may also register for classes and pick up information about programs and events.

Conduct and Safety
Please help ensure a great experience for everyone. Before you send your young swimmers to the pool for an afternoon, be aware that we wish to maintain high standards for conduct with emphasis on safety. We encourage behavior that is respectful and mature. Our guards will enforce safety rules both on deck and in the pool.

Parking
There are two parking lots on either side of the Burgess gym and pool facility. Both parking lots are shared with the rest of Burgess Park. To minimize impact on the surrounding neighborhood please park in the lots and not on the street. Try riding your bike to the pool!
