Providing a Safe & Fun Summer Place to Be!
The staff of the Recreational Facility has been working diligently to prepare the facility, as well as formulate policies and procedures, for as safe a summer swimming experience as we can reasonably provide. You will notice changes in seating, sanitation and concessions to enhance social distancing and have readily available disinfectants for the facility, equipment, staff and patrons.
Utilizing guidance from the State of Kansas (the Ad Astra Plan), the CDC and from county and city officials, there is now a phased plan to open the Rockwood Pool.
We encourage you to come down to the pool that weekend, check out the pool, tour the facility and see the effort that has been made to make this a great summer for Rockwood.
Attached is a set of guidelines and timeframes to open the pool and related pool activities. Please take some time to review this information. Members have significant responsibilities in helping to make this summer experience fun and safe. Social distancing is required.
During the summer only, the pool manager can be reached at pool.rockwood@gmail.com or 316.685.3231 (pool office). Applications for In and Out of Rockwood memberships, including membership levels, pricing, etc. are above.
Swim Team and swim lessons are scheduled to start early June. See the information and links below for specific information, including schedules and pricing. Children must be a pool member to participate in either event. For additional information, please contact Joe Hutchinson at 316.252.9192 or hutch.joe.70@gmail.com.

This year, Rockwood offers a new program to work one-on-one with any swimmer 6 years old or under or who has not swum competitively before during the second week of June.
