***** Update as of 5/27: Our pool chemical levels are not yet to the levels we need them to be in order to open this week. The health dept only accepts water samples on certain days. This has put us back another several days for opening. Regretfully, we are looking at ••Wednesday, June 3rd••. Aqua Aerobics will now begin on Friday, June 5th. Please know, we are just as sad as you. We can't wait to see you at RHP! *****

🗣️ Update on Opening Day: Sadly, we will miss our target of opening during Memorial Day Weekend. The forecast is not looking swim appropriate anyway, so this may not be such a bad thing. Our new target for opening is end of next week (May 28th or 29th-ish)!

💦 We are targeting to open Memorial Day Weekend. We will have a better idea later in the week, and will keep you updated as we know! Several factors come into play when opening a pool: chemicals balanced, water test approval, health inspection approval, etc, just to name a few! We can't wait to see you! 🛟☀️

In the meantime, please familiarize yourself with a few of our pool rules:

No alcohol, no pets, no food or drink on pool deck.
Life vests will be available for daily rental for $2.
