MIDDLETOWN – Lake County Public Services Director Kim K. Clymire announced that the Middletown Pool will be forced to change the regular Wednesday through Sunday open schedule beginning Monday, Aug. 15, because school starts on Tuesday, Aug. 17.

In order to mitigate the change in the regular Wednesday through Sunday schedule, the pool will be open on Monday, Aug. 16, and then will open only on the weekends of Aug. 21 and 22, and Aug. 28 and 29. After Sunday, Aug. 29, the pool will close for the season.

Hardester’s Market in Middletown has once again donated 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 up a pass prior to going to the pool.

Hardester's has donated $33,143.50 in free pool passes to Middletown children since 1988. Clymire expressed his sincere appreciation to the Hardester’s for their continued support to the community.
