Donations can be dropped off at the pool during our regular hours!

🎃 SPOOKY SWIM! 👻

Looking for something to do with the kids before trick-or-treating? Come spend the afternoon with us at Northside Community Pool!

Thanks to the generous sponsorship from CBRM Recreation, we’re having TWO FREE SWIMS on Halloween! We will have some spooky music playing to get everyone in the Halloween spirit!

Saturday, October 31st
First Swim : 11:45 AM – 12:45 PM
Second Swim : 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM

No registration required! First come, first served!

We encourage everyone to arrive a little early to secure a spot. We do have a maximum number of swimmers allowed in the pool at once, and once we hit that number, we unfortunately can’t let anyone else in. We’re hoping that by offering two swims, we can spread out the crowd a little and give as many families as possible a chance to get in!

🌭 And what’s a swim without some lunch?

We’ll also be having a hot dog sale after the swims! For $5.00, you can grab a hot dog, drink, and treat before heading home to get ready for trick-or-treating!

Cash only, please! All proceeds will go towards our community pool programs!

A few reminders for parents:
• Ages 0–6 must have an adult in the water with them at all times!
• Ages 7–9 need an adult in the water if they can’t swim or can’t touch in the shallow end.
• Ages 10–12 can swim on their own, but an adult must stay in the building.

Come enjoy a swim, grab some lunch, and let the kids burn off a little energy before all the Halloween excitement! 🎃

Hope to see you there! 👻
