Aquatic Center In City Of Shakopee To Reopen To Non-Members On September 1

Press release from the City of Shakopee:

August 27, 2020

Beginning Sept. 1, all guests will have access to the Indoor Aquatic Center at Shakopee Community Center. Previously, the facility was available to members only.

Each reservation is good for a family of five. Please keep in mind that each family member will be required to pay the $5 daily use fee. Children 2-years-old and under are free.

Members and guests will be required to sign up for lap swim or leisure pool times at ShakopeeMN.gov/communitycenter. Non members will be required to register in the "Open" category listed for swim times, while members should sign up using the "Members Only" category. Due to capacity limits, reservations are limited to 1 hour blocks. These times are strictly monitored, so plan to arrive no more than 10 minutes prior to your scheduled swim time.

Locker rooms are available for up to 15 minutes after each reservation ends. Locker availability is limited due to social distancing guidelines. Guests should plan to keep their belongings with them at the pool deck. Reservations include one poolside bench or table where families can keep their possessions.

Community Center staff are working diligently to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Patrons of the Community Center will be required to wear a mask while in common areas, including hallways and the lobby. State statutes require patrons to wear face coverings while moving between activities, but do not require them to be worn while exercising or in the pool. Pool users should plan on leaving their masks in lockers, or bringing them to store on the pool deck with the rest of their belongings. Swimmers will be required to shower before entering the pool area.
