Open Swim
Splash around in the NECC pool during Open Swim! Open Swim is a great time for families to play in the water, friends to catch up and float, or to work on your aqua-aerobic exercises.
During open swim there are no lanes in the pool and there is an NECC lifeguard on duty. Members can come to open swim as part of their membership and non-members can drop in for $10/day (adults) or $5/day(youth).
There is no preregistration for open swim, but we do have a capacity of 25 people in the pool at once to maintain a safe lifeguard to swimmer ratio.
If there is important information you would like a Lifeguard to know about you or your children to help have a better open swim experience please let them know! It can be difficult for a Lifeguard to have a conversation while guarding the pool so it is best to speak to the on-duty Lifeguard prior to getting into the water.
Children ages 0-6 need to be accompanied by an adult in the water. Children ages 7-9 can be in the pool by themselves, so long as a caregiver over the age of 12 is supervising from the pool deck or bleacher area. Any child under the age of 13 must pass a swim test to swim in the deep end of the pool. A Lifeguard may also require a swim test of those older than 13 if they are unsure if the participant has the skills necessary to swim safely in the deep end of the pool. Children 10 and older can come to the NECC facility on their own.
