The Mammoth Swimming Pool is open for the summer, which is good news for local kids.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic new rules and limitations have been initiated. Only 40 people at one time are allowed at the pool. This includes those in the water and on the deck. Operating hours have been reduced and there are safety rules in place to reduce the spread of the virus. Pool Parties and Night Swims will not be available until further notice.
