  • Before heading to the pool you’ll want to make sure you have goggles, swimsuit, towel and a water bottle!

    Swimmers are always encouraged to wear whatever is most comfortable for them in our space. We can help if you’re unsure where to get suitable swim attire or gear.

    Swim caps aren’t required, but recommended for those with longer hair.
