Verona Aquatics

Hello Aquatics Community,

As we move into the final stretch of winter, I want to sincerely thank our Verona Aquatics community for your continued patience, flexibility, and support. This time of year brings transitions, championship events, school programming shifts, and exciting new opportunities and we are grateful to navigate it all alongside you.

We are happy to share that the Warm Water Pool remains on track to reopen on Monday, March 9.

Our team has been working closely with contractors, and all indications are that the project is progressing as scheduled. We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. We know how important this space is for therapy, lap swim, water exercise, and recreation, and we are looking forward to welcoming everyone back very soon.

We will continue to communicate if anything changes, but at this time, March 9 remains our anticipated reopening date.

Membership extensions will be processed once the Warm Water Pool officially reopens.

Sharing of Lanes – When more than two swimmers are in a lap lane, please circle swim to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

No Street Shoes on Deck – Street shoes can track dirt, debris, and glass onto the deck. Please help us keep the pool area clean and safe by leaving street shoes off the deck.

Rinse Before Entering the Pool – Showering before swimming helps remove sweat, oils, lotions, and cosmetics, improving water quality and reducing irritation.

Locker Room Courtesy Policy – To ensure smooth transitions between swim sessions, all swimmers are asked to exit the locker rooms within 15 minutes after their swim concludes. This applies to morning, daytime, and evening swims.

As always, thank you for being part of the Verona Aquatics community. Your presence, energy, and commitment to wellness make our facilities more than just pools, they make them places of growth, connection, and lifelong learning.

We look forward to seeing you on deck and in the water.

With appreciation,

Deb Bossingham
Aquatics Director
