Our Hollander Aquatics Center features three pools:
- Six-lane, 25-yard lap pool
- 20' x 40' training pool

We provide a safe aquatic environment to enjoy lap swimming and structured programming, as well as open swim periods for play and relaxation. Certified lifeguards are on duty during all hours of operation, and there is convenient access to locker rooms and showers.
