The Jefferson Municipal Swimming Pool is preparing to open for the season.

Parks and Recreation Director Denny Hammen tells Raccoon Valley Radio the pool will be open for the year on Friday, June 4th. The daily hours will be from 11:30am-6pm, with adult lap swim from 11:30am-1pm, 1-5pm is open swim and 5-6pm will be family hour. Hammen points out there will not be any COVID-19 restrictions, except for the lifeguards will continue their “cleaning campaign” from last year, where during the mandatory ten-minute break every hour, they will clean and disinfect several areas of the facility. 

Hammen talks about having the pool open again this year and without any COVID-19 restrictions.

“Well it’s exciting because we’ve had calls back in March, when we had those warm March days, we had calls wondering when the pool was going to open. So I could tell from that this community really loves the swimming pool and the ability to use that pool in the summertime. So it’s exciting for us to be able to provide that.” 

Daily and seasonal passes are available. Contact the Greene County Community Center in Jefferson at 515-386-3412 for more information.
