We are thrilled to announce that we are embarking on a major revitalization of the beloved five-lane, 22-yard indoor swimming pool at the Downtown Santa Cruz Clubhouse!
Starting in late Fall 2024, we will temporarily close the pool to install a new roof, ventilation system, windows, exterior glass doors, and a fresh coat of paint. Our goal is to create a bright and welcoming space where young people can safely enjoy the water. Our upgraded facility will not only provide low-cost, accessible aquatics programs but also help our youth build confidence, practice healthy habits, set and achieve goals, and create lasting memories with friends.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to several key community partners, including the George Irwin Charitable Foundation, the City of Santa Cruz, the Santa Cruz Sunrise Rotary, Omega Nu, and Larry and Viola Willis for their generous contributions that have helped us to raise more than $500,000 to embark upon this work. Their belief in the importance of this project highlights the impact we can have when we come together as a community.
We invite you, our broader Club community, to join us in bringing this vision to life. Every gift, no matter the amount, makes a difference as we strive to raise the final funds needed to make this project a reality. Together, let’s make a splash and ensure our kids have access to a safe and enjoyable swimming environment!
