Pool Closing Policies

The State of Nebraska and DHHS dictate that the pool must be closed for a minimum 30 minutes from hearing thunder or seeing lightning. If swim lessons are cancelled due to a Weather closure, we will do the best we can to make up that day. No refunds will be given if a make up is not able to be scheduled. We will post updates on Weather closures in a timely manner and keep them updated.

The State and DHHS require that the pool be closed for a minimum 30 minutes after cleaning an incident. Chlorine of 2.6ppm or higher kills any germs and bacteria within 20 minutes.

If the pool needs to be closed due to maintenance, a 24 hour notice will be given.
