GENERAL
INFORMATION
No sun? No problem!
The Brownell-Talbot Theisen Pool is a beautiful, indoor,
6-lane, 25 yard facility. We have a one-meter diving board, four teaching
platforms, an underwater viewing window, and an elevated spectator gallery.
SCHOOL HOLIDAYS:
The pool is usually open for Fitness Swims and Family Swims during the
school year when Brownell-Talbot School has a day off or school holiday.
We are open in June and July, but are typically closed much of August
and the first week in September.
GENERAL ADMISSION:
Fitness Swim and Family Swim admissions are $3 per swimmer
regardless of age. Current B-T students and
faculty/staff are exempt from general admission for Fitness and Family
Swim. You swim for free! Family members of current B-T students and everyone else
using the pool during these times must pay before they swim. If
you are paying for a guest, please put the exact amount in cash or check
in the drop box located in the pool office before you swim.
SAFETY FIRST:
Click for
Water Safety Page.
WATER TEMPERATURE:
The Theisen Pool is kept at a
wonderfully warm 86 degrees year round.
CLOSING TIME:
Please exit the pool fifteen
minutes before the posted closing time. This allows for a fifteen-minute
shower/dress period in the locker rooms before the doors are locked at closing
time. If you need more than fifteen minutes to dress, please leave yourself
enough dressing time to exit the building at our posted time.
LOST & FOUND:
Check your bags before you leave after each swim. Items left in
non-rental lockers will be removed and treated as lost and found items.
Do not leave clothes, towels, toiletries, and swim equipment in the
lockers overnight. Swimmers who have lost something at the pool
should immediately report the loss to the pool office and check the lost
and found collection that is kept in the pool office. Items in
the lost and found collection are cleaned out and disposed of
regularly. All toiletries, socks, underwear, and all hair
ornaments and ties are treated as trash, not Lost & Found items.
MEMBERSHIPS:
Due to the dynamic nature of our schedule and
the ever increasing use of the pool for educational programs, Brownell-Talbot
School does not
offer pool memberships. We are unable to guarantee specific hours and so will
not accept membership money for a commitment to provide a minimum number of
hours. Fitness Swim and Family Swim availability is evaluated each week
based on the instructional and competitive program schedule.

LOCKER
USE: All of our lockers are day-use only. Please remove locks
and locker content each day when you leave. An exception to this is during
the high school swimming season (Mid-November through February). We do
check out lockers to our high school student athletes, so if public swimming
time becomes available during the high school season you may see locks left on
overnight.

Any time that Brownell-Talbot School is closed due to weather
conditions, all aquatics events and Open/Lap Swim are cancelled.
If Brownell-Talbot cancels after-school and evening activities due to
weather, all aquatics events and Family/Fitness Swim are cancelled.

FITNESS SWIM INFORMATION:
During Fitness Swim hours the pool is open for
lap swimming and water exercise. While we are not often crowded, sometimes
swimmers do have to share lanes. There is no minimum age for participating
in Fitness Swim. There is also no "recreational swimming" during Fitness
Swim. (No pool toys, cannonballs off the diving board, etc.) Family
Swim on Saturdays and Pirate Parties are the times for that kind of fun.

swimmers, and our
