INDOOR POOL INFORMATION AND RULES

cityofberea.org to see a current aquatic facility calendar. Pool closes 30 minutes prior to facility closing.
Pool Dimensions and Depth: 25 yds; 4 lane width. Depth 3’6” to 7’ deep. NO DIVING!
Pool Temperature: Pool is set for 85 degrees. A degree difference up or down is still acceptable. Recreational
swimming standards are between 78 - 85 degrees. We serve a diverse population of swimmers. We attempt to
satisfy to the best of our ability both recreational and therapeutic swimmers. Daily pool temperatures can be
obtained by calling our Activity Hotline at 440-234-6020 which is updated daily when we open.
Pool is closed during classes. During The Achievement Center’s Adaptive learn to swim lessons, the pool is not
closed but we ask patrons to be respectful to the instructors teaching. The Sauna, Steam room and Whirlpool
are open during classes provided patrons are not being disruptive.
Patrons under the age of 15 are NOT permitted in the Steam room/Sauna or Whirlpool regardless of a legal
