At long last, the Morgan Hill community will have enough pools to accommodate its big demand for water sports and recreation. The Aquatic Center will have something for everyone including:
Daily Lap Swimming Hours
Daily Recreational Swimming and Water Play
50-Meter Competition Pool
Sprayground and Water Play Toys
Zero-Entry Recreational Pool With Slide
Swim Lessons
Water Aerobics
The grand opening is scheduled for the weekend of June 12-13, with the first swim lesson sessions starting Monday, June 14. In addition to the many regular activities listed above, the aquatic facility will also play host to many special events this summer like Dive-In movie nights, a Teen Howl special party, and an Eggstra Morning Swim. You can even reserve a room to have a birthday party, group event, or other activity.
Passes for the facility are now for sale at the Community and Cultural Center and come in a variety of packages depending on your interests. You can begin signing up for swim lessons and other recreational activities on Saturday, April 24, at the Community and Cultural Center from 9 a.m.-noon.
