MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – The Middletown Pool, located at 20962 Big Canyon Road, is now open for the summer season.

The pool, which opened on Saturday, will remain open for recreational swimming Wednesdays through Sundays, noon to 5 p.m. through Sunday, Aug. 11.

The pool is closing unusually early this year because the start of school is Monday, Aug. 12.

Kura Brice will be returning as the lead lifeguard for this summer’s season.

Pool patrons 10 years and under must be accompanied by a responsible young adult 15 years of age or older.

Hardester’s Market in Middletown has once again generously agreed to donate free swim passes for children who are 12 years of age and under.  

Passes may be obtained by simply dropping by the Middletown Hardester’s Store and picking a pass up prior to going to the pool.  

Hardester's has unselfishly donated $38,470.75 in free pool passes to Middletown children since 1988. Public Services Director Caroline Chavez expressed her sincere appreciation to the Hardester’s for their continued, unselfish support to the community.  

The pool fees are as follows:

Children under 12 years old: $1.25;
13 years and older: $2.

Season passes are available for individuals for  $40 and families (immediate family members only) for $80.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the Public Services Department at 707-262-1618.
