Hartford’s outdoor pool, the Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center, is scheduled to open on Saturday, May 30.

Aquatic and Fitness Supervisor Zack Stupnik told WTKM that preseason hours will be in effect until June 10, with open swim from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. 

"All preseason means, is that on weekdays we only have open swim. This is while the younger kids are still in school. They go a little later than the high school. We make sure we have staff there when people come."

Morning hours begin on June 8. It's the start of water walking, which is popular. Toddler swim starts June 11.   

Hartford’s outdoor pool is fully staffed again this year, according to Hartford Parks and Rec Director Randy Wojtasiak.

"They are fortunate to have one of those positions. They are hard to come by, we have a lot of returnees. It's not an area where we have struggled to bring people in. We feel really fortunate, especially in aquatics, where we are one of the very few facilties in the area and state that doesn't struggle to bring staff in."

The hours will adjust to 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, from June 11 to August 23. The pool will be open Saturday and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.
