The Rockville Swim and Fitness Center’s outdoor recreation pools, complete with large slides, a lilypad crossing, kids pool with fountains and sprayground, an aqua zip and in-water basketball features, will open for the season on Memorial Day weekend, Saturday, May 23.

The outdoor fitness pool will open for preseason swimming in May. Spring’s unpredictable weather means the exact date of the official first day for the fitness pool is still developing. 

Plan ahead before your visit. Check the swim and fitness center’s website at rockvillemd.gov/swimcenter for hours and fees.
