NORTHSIDE SWIM CENTER TO OPEN ON TUESDAY, MAY 31ST

(Media release from Rome-Floyd Parks and Recreation):

The Northside Swim Center is set to open on Tuesday, May 31. Due to a nationwide lifeguard shortage the pool’s hours and days of operation, as well as rental dates and times and pool capacity has changed for the 2022 summer swim season.

The pool will be open for open swim from noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday until the end of July. Pool capacity is 125 people. Pool rentals are available for Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m. Pool rentals are handled on a first-come, first serve basis and the fee to rent the pool is based upon the number of people attending the party. To inquire about pool rentals, please contact the office at 706.291.0766.

Admission to swim is $5 per day and the pool only accepts cards. Large groups, day cares and camps wishing to swim need to contact Jim Alred by email at [email protected] to check availability.

“We’ve been working on getting lifeguards for the pool since January, and we’re glad that we’ve been able to get enough to be able to open the Northside Swim Center,” RFPRA Director Todd Wofford said. “We hope everyone comes out and enjoys the pool.”
