Both Rehm and Ridgeland pools are 50 meters long by 60ft wide. Ridgeland offers one 25 yard lap lane during all public, passholder and family swims.
Lockers are available but you will need to bring your own lock. Locks are not available for purchase.
The pools will close for cold weather, thunder, lightning, severe weather, or the imminent threat of severe weather.
If thunder is heard or lightening is spotted, the pools must close for at least a half hour. Pools will remain closed until 30 minutes have passed without thunder being heard or lightening being spotted.
If the air temperature is below 68o the pools may close. This depends on other factors including time of day, current pool attendance, perceived temperature, and amount of sunlight.
In any of these situations refunds are not given for weather regardless of the amount of time in the facility before closing.
