Summer schedules at the Piedmont Community Pool begin on Monday, June 8, bringing extended weekend hours, expanded programming, and more ways to enjoy both pools.

A new addition for summer is afternoon “tube time” at the Competition Pool – clear inner tubes available for swimmers to relax and float. The goal is to make the larger pool more inviting for recreational use while helping ease pressure on the Activity Pool during busy periods. Swimmers must pass a swim test to use tubes in the Competition Pool.

Summer schedules: June 8 – July 19

Summer hours through July 19 are:

• Monday-Thursday: 6am-7pm; midday closure 1-2pm
• Friday: 6am-8pm; midday closure: 1-2pm
• Saturday: 7am-8pm
• Sunday: 7am-6pm

Lap swim will continue to be available in the Competition Pool during all open hours.

Starting June 6, the Activity Pool will host swim lessons on weekday evenings and weekend mornings, meaning open swim in the Activity Pool will no longer be available at all times. Community members planning to use the Activity Pool should confirm the schedule at piedmont.ca.gov/pool before visiting.

In general, open swim will be available at the Activity Pool:

• Monday-Thursday: before 4pm
• Friday: beginning at 10am and continuing throughout the day
• Saturday-Sunday: beginning at 12:30pm and continuing until close

Three new adult aquatics classes for summer

Summer programming at the pool includes swim lessons, summer camps, and three new adult aquatics classes:

• Aqua HIIT
• Summer Water Aerobics
• Aqua Conditioning

Registration for adult aquatics classes is open now through the aquatics registration portal at rec.us/piedmont.

Plan ahead during peak hours

The Activity Pool has reached capacity on several days since the pool opened. When the pool is nearing capacity, priority for admission will be given to passholders over drop-ins.

Community members can call the pool front desk at (510) 420-3090 before visiting to check whether capacity is currently an issue. If you have flexibility in your schedule, considering visiting outside of peak hours, which typically happen in the early afternoon.

The first year of pool operations is a period of learning and adjustment. Staff are monitoring use patterns, exploring new approaches to balance access needs, and making operational decisions with several goals in mind; maximizing community access, balancing the needs of all user groups, and maintaining a financially sustainable operating model.
