To our Family of Members:

We are happy to inform you of the annual facelift and improvements to the Peck Aquatic Center swimming pools and locker room facilities.  The large swimming pool, the small swimming pool and the co-ed whirlpool will be closed from:

Saturday August 9^th through Saturday September 6^th

Our facility will reopen on Sunday, September 7^th.

Thanks to a generous gift from the Maurice S. Surlow Memorial Endowment at the Jewish Community Foundation we are able to add easy access steps into the large pool, similar to the entry of the current smaller pool. We are happy to provide this new entryway to those members who have been requesting this improvement for a number of years. In addition the entire pool area will receive a new paint job, and tile grouting throughout.

The general locker rooms will be also getting a facelift and therefore the shower area will be closed from:

Thursday August 21^st through Friday August 29^th

The general locker rooms will re-open on Saturday. August 30th.

We encourage all families with children to use the Family Changing rooms whenever possible.

There will also be some annual maintenance procedures occurring in the health Center shower, steam room and whirlpool areas. A specific letter to Health Center members is being sent to Health Center members.

As always, our goal is to minimize the impact of this annual closing by providing you with information on alternative places to swim and participate in water exercise classes during the closure.
