The Anne Arundel County Police are currently conducting an investigation regarding the events leading up to the incident. Due to these circumstances we will unfortunately be closed today and tomorrow with the intent of re-opening the facility on Monday July 8th. We greatly value our partnership with our community neighbors and the support that has been built over the years. Thank you for your continued patience as we continue to make our pool a facility enjoyed by our loyal and faithful members.
Because of all of the emotions tied to the event we have turned off the ability to post and comment on our page at this time. Please contact the board if you have any questions.
