Annual Aquatics Maintenance & Alternative Swim Options
Each year, the JCC performs essential maintenance on the Peck Aquatic Center to ensure our pools remain clean, safe, and operating at the highest standards. This planned closure allows us to complete important updates with minimal disruption to your routine, and we appreciate your flexibility and understanding as we complete this work.
Peck Aquatic Center Closure Dates
- Closing: Saturday, August 22 (after JCC closes)
- Reopening: Tuesday, September 8 (at 5:00 AM)
We intentionally schedule this work during one of the quietest times of the year for our aquatics programs, allowing us to complete these projects as efficiently as possible while minimizing disruptions for members.
