Neligh Pool Plans To Open With Free Swimming Day

The Neligh pool is kicking off the summer with a free pool day — and free juice pouches for those who bring sunscreen for the summer.

The pool will officially open Sunday, May 28, with regular pool hours of 1 p.m. to 8 p.m., as long as it's not raining and the outside temperature is at least 74 degrees. Pool manager Hallie Knutson said everyone will receive free admission on Sunday and those who bring sunscreen to leave at the pool for their summer use will receive a free juice pouch.

For the remainder of the summer, cost of admission will be $1 for children 4 years and under, $2 for kids age 5-18, and $3 for adults age 18 and older. Season passes are available for $75 with family passes available for $125. 

Swimming lessons will be available as well with group lessons costing $30 for a 10 day program and private lessons costing $50 for a 5 day program. Group lessons will be June 12-23, excluding weekends.

If anyone would like to have a private party at the pool, it is $65 for a party with two lifeguards on duty and $75 to have three lifeguards on duty. 

The Women of Neligh organization will also offer ice cream at the pool this summer for a minimal cost. Proceeds will go toward pool improvements.
