The Lap Pool will be closed from November 25th through the 30th for maintenance at the Ruby Fulbright Aquatics Center located at 120 Paul Franklin Road, Clarkesville, GA.
The Lap Pool remains open for regular business hours Friday, November 22 with an early closure for the High School Swim Meet. On Saturday, November 23, the Lap Pool will be open for regular business hours as well. Because of the complications the Aquatics Center is having with the Lap Pool, the heater for the water has been shut off. This means it may be a bit cool for some swimmers.
Habersham County Parks & Recreation Director Brooke Whitmire said, “We are on top of it and hope to get it all wrapped up as quickly as possible. We just have to go in there and see what is going on.”
Whitmire advised swimmers to check the temperature of the water before swimming to make sure it is warm enough for them to swim. The front desk staff has been instructed to permit patrons to do so.
“The Rec Pool will remain open though during the week of Thanksgiving. There is not an issue with the heater because the pools are on separate systems,” Whitmire added.
The Aquatics Center staff is hopeful the Lap Pool will be ready to open back up the week after Thanksgiving.
