Friends of Lopez Island Pool

Add to your Pool Fun. Lopez Swim Center is a great place to host birthday parties and other special events. Our Community Room can be "Fun Central" while the pools can beckon friends and family to jump in and splash. Make your plans by calling the Lopez Swim Center directly. 360-622-POOL (Lance Anderson, Aquatics Manager).
You can plan ahead. The pools are open year round. Open to the sky in the warm months, and under the dome in the chillier months.

Summer always seems to go by so fast. Slow down and enjoy yourself at the Pool.
Yesterday, people of all ages were enjoying their moments in the fresh air, swimming, water-walking, exercising, splashing. And there will be more days like this. Here are some Lopez Swim Center Pool updates:

***Home School Parents: There is still time to sign up your kids for free swimming lessons, swimsuit, and goggles. Please don’t delay. Contact Robin Bergstrom, [email protected] (360-317-5015) or call Lopez Swim Center, 360-622-POOL.

***This Pool schedule is still good through August 30. It’s always wise to note different times and days for the Wellness Pool and the Lap Pool. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xhkfWFooKf8nwJzKQhUyjprxCgNzSyWfdbRGdtcZnFg/edit?gid=830456549 =830456549

Attention: Home Schooling Parents! Good News!

Lopez Swim Center Offers a Free Swim Lesson Program for Your Children

Beginning in September Lopez Swim Center Student Swim Program will provide free, high quality swim lessons, aquatic safety instruction, and water-based activities for all K-12 students. We will begin with a skills assessment and students will advance through the levels as they develop proficiency. Instruction is led by LSC certified Red Cross Water Safety Instructors (with certified lifeguards). 5:1 student-to-instructor ratio.
Schedule will include 2 lessons per week for three weeks each semester. Classes are 30-45 minutes depending on student age. Instruction planned to begin in September. Lopez Swim Center is providing swimsuits, swim bags and goggles free of charge. A size chart will be sent to interested parents as we want to order and then distribute gear in early September.
Each participating family receives two free family day passes to the pool center per semester.
As a rural community with extensive shoreline and year-round water exposure, Lopez faces elevated risk of drowning without swim education. Now that we have a pool center, we can create a true swim culture through consistent instruction, standardized gear, and long-term planning. This program will be available
each school year.
You may choose this great opportunity for your children, and *please* share this information with other Home Schooling families. Please contact Robin Bergstrom at [email protected]
call (360-317-5015) or the LSC directly, 360-622-POOL (Lance Anderson, Aquatics Manager).
