It’s been nearly two years since the Clairemont Pool closed, and while construction should wrap up by late September, a city budget shortfall could leave it without staff to reopen.

Help push for full funding and reopening. Please take a few minutes to complete this survey and share your concerns. More community voices = more action.

We encourage you to reach out to the District 2 City Counsel to directly express your concerns. Contact information:

Carrie Munson, Senior Policy Advisor
(619) 236-6726 Office

A few key points to write or call about:

1. The City has closed this pool for nearly 2 years.

2. This coastal community has experienced 2 seasons of missed swimming lessons, water safety, etc.

3. The funding to rehab the pool is already being spent.

4. Staffing the pool in FY26-27 is important to relieve this community of a lost recreational resource for nearly 2 years.

For questions of more information contact CHS Water Polo Coach Joey Kienle.
