Glastonbury Pools Are Open For the Summer!

It’s time to hit the water and with school finally out, Glastonbury’s four swimming pools are now on their full summer hours and schedules.

The pools opened earlier this month on a limited schedule and most had switched to their full schedules by mid-month. The pool at Glastonbury High School on New London Turnpike switched to its full schedule after last week’s graduation.

The pools, Addison at Addison Park, Eastbury Pond on Fisher Hill Road, the Grange on Hopewell Road and GHS, will remain on the summer schedule until Sept. 3.

At Eastbury Pond there’s no fee for those who walk in to use the pool, though parking is $4 during the week and $6 on the weekends. There’s no charge for bikes. Residents can buy a seasonal sticker for up to two cars for $18, each vehicle sticker after that is $10. At the Grange, Addison and high school pools, the town charges $2 per child for a daily admission and $4 for adults. Pool passes for those three pools are also available at $69 per household for the summer and $49 per individual. For the year, the pool passes are $99 per family and $69 per individual. Residents 60 years of age and older are free.

Summer passes are good from June 1 to Sept. 3. Yearly passes are good from June 1, 2012 to May 31, 2013.

The pools offer a long roster of swim programs and lessons, including the Fundamentals of Aquatics, Infants and Toddlers, a basic Learn to Swim program provided by the American Red Cross and fitness swimming.

A pdf of the schedules for each pool is available above.

The town’s Parks and Recreation Department oversees the pool programs. For more information on them, to review the pool rules or to download a registration form for a class, click here.
