MIDDLETOWN – Public Services Director Kim K. Clymire announced that the Middletown Pool will open for the summer swim season on Wednesday, June 16, and will remain open for recreational swimming Wednesdays through Sundays, from noon to 5 p.m., through Sunday, Aug. 15.

Clymire also introduced the pool's new lifeguard, Miley McMahon.

Due to the lack of attendance during the adult swim sessions last season, the sessions will not be offered initially unless there are a sufficient number of requests for it.

In addition, the department is looking for a certified water swimming instructor to potentially provide swim lessons from 10 a.m. to noon during the pool’s swim days.

Pool patrons 10 years and under must be accompanied by an 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 have unselfishly donated $33,143.50 in free pool passes to Middletown children since 1988.

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.

• Schools, nonprofits and private group rates: Attendance of 25 and under with lifeguard, $100 per hour.

• Attendance of more than 25 but less then 50: $150 per hour with lifeguards.

 

Clymire and his Public Services staff wish everyone a safe and happy summer.
