Clifton Park to Open Pools Beginning May 26^th, 2024
Learn to Swim classes offered in July

The Town of Clifton Park will be opening the Town pools beginning on Memorial Day weekend and the popular Learn to Swim program will return with two sessions of classes.

Registration is open.  The schedule for each pool will be the following:

1. Country Knolls- May 26^th- August 18^th
2. Barney Road Pool- May 26^th- August 18^th
3. Locust Lane Pool – June 26^th- August 18^th

The August 18^th closing date is tentative, based on staffing levels.  If the Town has enough lifeguards employed to keep pools open later than August 18^th, we will adjust to the available staffing levels and continue to operate the pools for Clifton Park families past August 18^th. 

The Town will also offer our popular Learn to Swim program again in 2024.  Registration will open on June 3^rd.  The number of children who can register for the program will depend on the number of lifeguards available to teach the classes. The lessons will be conducted at the Country Knolls Pool and the schedule will be the following:

1. Session 1 – July 8^th- July 19^th
2. Session 2 – July 22^nd- August 2^nd

The Town of Clifton Park’s three municipal pools, Barney Road, Country Knolls and Locust Lane will have staggered closing schedules to extend the pool season as much as possible. The Locust Lane Pool will close on Sunday, August 18^th, Barney Road Pool will close on Friday, August 23^rd and the Country Knolls Pool will remain open through Sunday, August 25^th.  The original closure date for this year was tentatively set for August 18, 2024. Staffing for all three pools will allow the Town to extend the season for an additional week.

The pools are open seven days a week from 12pm to 8pm.  Seasonal membership includes unlimited visits to all three facilities throughout the season and the option to purchase guest passes for friends and family.  Half price memberships are currently available for the end of the season and can be purchased at www.CliftonPark.org.

The 2024 pools season began on Memorial Day Weekend with Country Knolls and Barney Road pools being the first to open on May 26^th.  All three were open for residents to enjoy beginning June 26^th.  The Town also hosted another successful Learn To Swim program, offering two sessions at the Country Knolls Pool.

Supervisor Barrett would like to thank the dedicated lifeguards, water safety instructors and pool managers, as well as the Buildings and Grounds staff for another successful summer season.

“Our aggressive lifeguard recruitment efforts, free lifeguard training courses in partnership with Saratoga County and the commitment of our pool staff has gradually increased our staffing levels and service capabilities, since the Covid Pandemic said Town Supervisor Phil Barrett.  All Learn to Swim registrants were accepted, people will be able to visit the pools later into the Summer this year and the return of open swim for day campers are positive developments for the 2024 pool season.”
