🏊 What’s Included
Membership grants access to both the Franklin and Lincoln pools for all household members residing at your listed address.
Youth Swim Lessons: Daily summer lessons for children (18 and under), plus select weekday sessions in the spring and fall.
Family Swim: Daily sessions in the summer; weekend sessions in the spring and fall.
Lap Swim: Daily guarded, pre-scheduled lap swim in the summer, with select spring/fall days.
Year-Round Pool Access (6:00 AM – 10:00 PM): Members can use the pools year-round during non-programmed hours, provided an American Red Cross shallow water lifeguard is on deck.
Tip: Many members get their own Red Cross certification and partner up to enjoy the pools all year long!
Seasonal Note: Small pools are closed from November to mid-April to conserve energy and costs.
Please note: Instructional programs, cleaning, maintenance, emergency repairs, and scheduled events take priority over open swimming. General swimming is always dependent on pool and lifeguard availability.
