Outdoor Pool Closing Tomorrow (8/25/11) due to storm
PORTSMOUTH – Due to the approaching storm, the final day of the Peirce Island Outdoor Pool season will be tomorrow (Friday) rather than Sunday as originally scheduled, Recreation Director Rus Wilson announced today.
The entrance fee will be waived for residents all day tomorrow and there will be Open Swim from 11 a.m. to 5:15 p.m., at which time the Outdoor Pool will close for the 2011 season.
Although the Outdoor Pool originally was scheduled to close on Sunday, Wilson said the pool staff will spend Saturday removing all equipment in advance of the storm’s anticipated arrival on Sunday.
The Indoor Pool is closed for maintenance, but is scheduled to reopen Monday (Aug. 29).
Peirce Island Pool
Originally built in 1937 and fully refurbished in 2003, the Peirce Island Pool is the perfect place to spend a hot, sunny summer afternoon. With a length of 100 yards, a width of 33 yards and a gently sloping depth from 18 inches to six feet, it provides space for every age and ability. This year the pool opens June 27th 2011 and operates seven days a week for nine weeks. Weekday mornings are reserved for children's swimming lessons. Afternoons, evenings and weekends are for open for everyone, including six lap lanes at the deep end that are available during every open swim.
