Free swim planned at Mountain View Pool

Posted

Mountain View Pool is set to be open for swimming free of charge, Sunday, Feb. 11.

It’s lap time for swimming, water walking, therapy and exercise from 1 to 2 p.m. From 2 to 5 p.m., all are welcome for an open recreation swim, according to a press release from Rena Murman of the Jefferson County Aquatic Coalition. Children younger than 8 years must be accompanied in the water by an adult.

This month, the open recreation swim is sponsored by Carl’s Building Supply; the therapy/lap swim is sponsored by Jefferson Healthcare.

Last month’s free swim was canceled due to an emergency contamination closure, Murman noted in a press release.

Anyone with flu symptoms, especially diarrhea or vomiting, is asked to stay home. Health practices require a minimum 24-hour closure if pool water is contaminated.

For pool information, call 360-385-7665. The pool is located at 1925 Blaine St. in Port Townsend.
