Cherry Hill Aquatic Center Will Open Tomorrow

The Cedar Rapids municipal pool swimming season will begin this weekend with pre-season swimming at Cherry Hill Aquatic Center on Saturday, May 28; Sunday, May 29; and Monday, May 30 (Memorial Day). Previously, the Parks and Recreation Department planned to open Noelridge Aquatic Center this weekend, but this has changed to Cherry Hill due to a mechanical issue at Noelridge. Lap swims at Cherry Hill will be held from 11:45 a.m.-12:45 p.m. each day and open swims from 1:00-6:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, and from 1:00-5:00 p.m. on Monday. The pool may close early if there are 50 people or less in the facility for a period of one hour, lightening/severe storm in the area, when the bather limit is reached, or if air temperature is below 70 degrees. Noelridge and Cherry Hill Aquatic Centers will open for daily swimming on Saturday, June 4. Bever, Ellis and Jones Pools are scheduled to open on June 11. Daily schedules will vary by pool. Schedules will be available on the City's website at CRREC.org prior to opening.
