POOL NEWS (as of 9/19/23)...
1. The pool is currently CLOSED due to construction happening on our roof. We anticipate this being a large project that could take us well into the late Fall.
At this time, we do not have an anticipated date for re-opening, but will communicate (via email) when we know more.
We will NOT be having a Fall session of RipTide or swim lessons. Be on the lookout for a December registration for our Winter programming.
Thank you for your patience and flexibility!
2. We will be hosting a shallow water aerobics class on Tues and Thurs from 8-9am AT the Cape Elizabeth pool. This is a drop in format, so join us when you can.
Classes begin Thursday, 9/21.
The City of South Portland is pleased to offer professional lifeguards and a variety of programming at the South Portland Municipal Pool and Willard Beach (Memorial Day thru Labor Day). Both are open to the public.
The South Portland Pool is a 6-lane, 25 meter pool with diving board, handicapped accessible ramp and Hoyer lift. Our pool depth is approximately 3.5 feet in the shallow end and bottoms out at 12 feet in the deep end. We have a 6 person hot tub spa with therapy jets which is open for public use during all of our public use swim times. We are home to the South Portland High School Red Riots Swim & Dive Team, the Middle School teams, our in-house swim teams RipTide and RT+, as well as to a host of user groups such as special needs groups from local school departments and Attleboro BlueFish swim (ABF) team. Through lap swims, deep and shallow water aerobics classes and swimming lessons for youth and adults we average about 50,000 patrons per year.
We offer beginner and advanced swim lessons for youth and adults and American Red Cross Lifeguard Training courses.
