WALLA WALLA—The City of Walla Walla’s Veterans Memorial Pool opened for lap swimming on Monday, June 29.

Patrons must reserve a lap swim lane to enter the facility. Lap lanes are available for 45-minute reservations. The city encourages people to limit the use of the locker rooms, by wearing their swimsuit to the pool, and ask that people leave the facility within 10 minutes of concluding their lap swim reservation. Reservations for a lap swim time are available one week in advance, and reservations go quickly, so be sure to plan ahead.

Register for lap swimming at http:///www.wallawallawa.gov/government/parks-and-recreation/veterans-memorial-swimming-pool.

Modified swim lessons, the Sea Monkey program, and Sweat & Swim Bootcamp will begin the week of July 6. Registration for the first two-week session of these programs opened on June 27.

Recreation Coordinator for Aquatics Morgan Rauch says, “We are planning to open with restrictions in modified Phase 3. The Health Department has determined our capacity numbers; we are cleared to have 86 swimmers in the water and additional patrons on the deck that are there as chaperones but not swimmers. This number will be the same for Phase 4 or Phase 3 with no modification as well.”
