Upgraded Redmond Pool Reopens To Swimmers This Week

REDMOND, WA — After nearly two years of construction work, the Redmond Pool is ready to reopen this week, with a few coronavirus-related safety measures in place.

The city pool, operated by WAVE Aquatics, closed in June 2019 to undergo two phases of significant improvements. The newly-completed facility includes an upgraded lobby and locker rooms, along with all-new mechanical and electrical systems, air units, windows and pool decks. The city also commissioned artists Pete Goldlust and Melanie Germond to create a new sculpture for the building's facade.

While coronavirus restrictions continue, the Redmond Pool will offer several activities by reservation only, including:

• Public lap swim
• Senior swims
• Recreational and competitive swim team
• Swim lessons
• High school swim and dive
• Rentals
• A complete list of activities is posted on the WAVE Aquatics website.

Registration for swim lessons opens on May 10.

City officials plan to formally celebrate the pool's reopening during a ribbon-cutting event in the summer after the new art installation is complete.

Residents can plan for their visit online or by giving WAVE Aquatics a call at 425-883-4422.
