Aquatics phased reopening begins June 22

CPRD will do a phased opening of the aquatics wing of Chehalem Aquatic and Fitness Center. While we are excited to welcome our patrons back, we ask that you take time to familiarize yourself with the new policies and best practices that we have put into place. We have made many changes which will affect how you use the facility, from requiring reservations for all pool visits, to asking that you not congregate in the lobby as you wait your turn. A special summer schedule is designed to spread usage out over the course of each day, to ensure social distancing is observed in the pools and the waiting area. We appreciate your understanding. Public health sanitation and safety are our top priority. We hope you will feel confident and comfortable in our facility when you choose to return.

Locker rooms and drinking fountains will remain closed. Please bring what you will need and plan to arrive dressed for your activity. we are asking our patrons to arrive and depart in their swim attire. We suggest arriving with a swimsuit under comfortable clothes such as a sweatsuit. Use the deck shower before entering the water. Once your swim session is complete, rinse in the deck shower, towel dry, and don your sweatsuit over top of you swimsuit for the journey home.

BEFORE YOU GO - Check the new schedule, read the best practices guidance including policies on facemasks, sanitation, and other details on our website. All visits are by reservation only; reserve your time one week in advance (beginning on Fridays) in person or by phone.
