Summer Recreational Swim Program Moves to Amador Valley High School Pool

Program Begins on Saturday, May 25

Information from the City of Pleasanton--

Pleasanton’s summer Recreational Swim season begins next Saturday, May 25th. During renovation of the Dolores Bengtson Aquatic Center this summer, recreational swim will move to the Amador Valley High School pool, located at 1155 Santa Rita Road.     

To ensure a safe visit for everyone, it is imperative that all participants read through and understand the facility information prior to their visit to the Amador Valley High School pool as there are changes and modifications to what the community is accustomed to at the Dolores Bengtson Aquatic Center. Please download a Recreational Swim flyer at www.PleasantonAquaticCenter.com for dates, times, fees and facility rules.     

The City’s Aquatic Center staff is making every effort to ensure that the public has a safe place to swim and cool off during the summer. In addition to the rules and policies posted on thewww.PleasantonAquaticCenter.com site, it should also be noted.       

Personal food/drink items may be brought in; however, alcoholic beverages and glass containers are strictly prohibited. There will not be a snack bar for food or drinks. There is, however, a drinking fountain on-site. 

No changing areas are available, and changing clothes on the pool deck is prohibited. Come dressed to swim. Porta-potties with a hand-washing station adjacent to the facility are available for use. 

Maximum facility capacity is 320. After maximum capacity has been reached, the pool will be closed to all additional participants (even spectators) until space becomes available.       

Admission fees must be paid at the Amador Theater Box Office, in front of the school campus, prior to swim entry. Receipts must be presented at the pool gate for admission. 

Small personal items (i.e. car keys, driver’s license, cell phones, etc.) may be checked in/out with a designated staff person who will secure items during your visit. Items are limited to what will fit in a small bag. It is recommended that swimmers leave all valuables at home.     

Additional questions or concerns may be directed to the staff at the Dolores Bengtson Aquatic Center, (925) 931-3420 or Recreation Supervisor, Michelle Stearns atmstearns@cityofpleasantonca.gov.
