The Turning Mill neighborhood established the pool in 1963. Since then, residents have elected a volunteer board of directors to set policies, oversee improvements, and handle membership and finances. The board also employs a Pool Manager who handles daily operations and maintenance. The manager hires and supervises a team of certified lifeguards, ensuring the cleanliness, safety, and enjoyability of the pool.
Only members and their guests may come to the pool. See Membership for more information.
The pool operates from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day.
