Summer Pool Schedule Update

Long Beach State 49er Camp - “Making Kids Happy for 60 years”
This summer, ֳǹ will be renovating and repairing the main Olympic-size pool that we typically use. While the pool will be unavailable, we will still have swim time at the Recreation Center pool. While the Rec Center Pool is different in shape and size, it will still allow for daily swimming.
To accommodate this change, campers will have 20-minute swim sessions instead of the usual 45 minutes. To ensure a manageable number of campers in the pool area, only half of each group (Nuggets, Prospectors, Miners, and Sourdoughs) will swim at a time, keeping the total number of swimmers between 60-70. After approximately 25 minutes, the second half of the group will rotate in for their 20-minute session.
Anticipated swim schedule:
- 1:10 - 1:30 – Miners 1
- 1:35 - 1:55 – Miners 2
- 2:05 - 2:25 – Nuggets 1
- 2:30 - 2:50 – Nuggets 2
- 3:00 - 3:20 – Prospectors 1
- 3:25 - 3:45 – Prospectors 2
- 3:55 - 4:15 – Sourdoughs 1
- 4:20 - 4:45 – Sourdoughs 2
Note: As always, campers will be assessed for their swim ability on Day 1 and placed into groups based on their skill level.
These shorter swim sessions are a necessary adjustment to ensure all campers still receive swim instruction during the summer. We aim to maintain a balance between swim lessons and free swim time.
- Monday, Wednesday, and Friday: 20-minute swim lessons
- Tuesday and Thursday: Free swim only (no lessons)
We appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we navigate these changes. Our priority remains to provide a fun and safe swimming experience for all campers!
