Clark Pool Gets Ready For Summer With Renovations and Improvements

The Clark Pool held its open house this weekend, showing off several renovations to the facility, including a new diving board. The pool is in its 37th year of operation and will be opening for Memorial Day weekend. At the open house, guests registered for membership, toured the facility and had questions about the pool answered.

In addition to the new diving board, the pool is seeing some other changes. The snack shack is under new management this year, who promise a large and improved list of food and beverages. There are new programs like Aqua Zumba. For ages 14 and older, Aqua Zumba provides an aquatic version of the popular Latin workout. The program runs at $40 per session and takes place Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 9:15 a.m.

Another popular and returning feature is the light night swim with a DJ, which will take place July 13 and 29, August 10 and 26. There will also be a DJ in the afternoon on Sunday, June 26 and Sunday, September 4. On every other Friday starting June 17 will be Friday Floats, where inflatable floating devices will be permitted in the shallow end of the pool for a two hour time period.

For a family living in Clark, membership is set at $350. Two-person memberships including husband and wife, parent and child, and domestic partnerships are set at $300. Individual memberships are $200 and senior citizens can join for $100. June 1 is the cutoff for membership sign-ups. Anyone can still register after June 1 but will be assessed a late fee. For non-residents, the prices are $515, $440, $300, and $150 respectively. Non-members can obtain a day guest pass for $7 daily. On Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, guests over 14 years old have to pay $10 for a day pass.

The pool will stay open through Labor Day weekend in September. The facility will be open for limited hours until Saturday, June 25 when regular hours, 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., begin. Swim team practices will be Monday through Thursday and swim lessons are held on Monday through Friday.
