Operations at Great Mills Pool to End April 30

Pool

After 23 years of aquatics fun at the Great Mills swimming pool, the St. Mary’s County Department of Recreation & Parks will conclude operations at the facility on April 30. The facility is expected to reopen in the summer as an outdoor pool under the management of the St. Mary’s County Family YMCA, part of YMCA of the Chesapeake.

Public drop-in daily admission will remain available through the remainder of April at rate of $8 for adults and $6 for youth and seniors.

Current pool pass holders will receive a 50% discount on daily admission rates to the pool. Any valid punch passes not redeemed at Great Mills pool before April 30 can be redeemed at the Wellness & Aquatics Center in Leonardtown through their expiration date. For questions, email R&P at [email protected].

As a thank you for being part of the Great Mills swimming pool community, all pool members, staff, and instructors are invited to stop by the facility on April 20 between 8am and 6pm to enjoy light refreshments and receive a goodie bag. Representatives from the YMCA will be on site from 10am and 2pm to answer questions about future operations.

Additional information about the facility’s future operations will be available through YMCA of the Chesapeake here.

The pool’s inflatable dome roof is available for purchase via online auction.
