The new pool features a zero entry portion with water jets and play feature, diving board and well, corkscrew water slide, competition and lap lanes, heated water as well as a new pool house with locker rooms and concession area and pro shop.

Hard'ack Pool is located at 179 Congress Street. The pool is a hub of activity all year long!  Join us for St. Albans Sharks Swim Team, Swim Lessons, Lifeguard Training, WSI Training, Fitness Classes and Public Swim, refresh or just relax.

The pool is covered by a heated, inflatable dome.  Patrons have full access to the locker rooms prior to entering the pool area. There is no slide available for use when the dome is in place.
