Hard'ack Pool is located at 179 Congress Street. The pool features a zero entry area with water jets and a play feature. There is a diving board and corkscrew water slide! Another area of the pool features six lap lanes with lane lines. The water is heated to around 82 degrees year-round. Visitors can access locker rooms, concession area and pro-shop when they enter our pool house lobby. There is ample deck space, lounge chairs to relax by the pool, and a few picnic tables.
The pool is a hub of activity all year long. During the Fall and Winter (mid-September to mid-May) when the dome is up and the interior is warm and lighted we offer lap swimming, swim lessons, unique group exercise classes, competitive swim team and family swim. We offer Red Cross classes for lifeguards and swim instructors. Visitors can even pay to host a poolside birthday party. During the late Spring into Summer (late May to mid-September) the dome comes down and the slide opens! We continue to offer all the regular programming but the open hours are extended into the evening.
The Pool Schedule changes weekly, so please find the latest hours on this site, on the Hard'ack Pool Facebook Page (HERE), call the pool directly at 802-752-2178 or pick up a printed schedule at the pool.
