Pool Schedules

Swimming pool at Akron General

Find schedules below for all of our aquatic programs, including adult lap swim, family open swim and water fitness classes.

Aquatic Programs at LifeStyles

Family Open Swims (FOS)

Scheduled during dependent hours, the family open swim time is geared to, but not limited to, family entertainment. Toys and flotation devices may be available.

Adult Lap Swim / Exercise / Recreation Time (L/E/R)

Within each lane, adults may swim continuously in a workout setting, exercise or relax and play. Accommodations will be made for all levels of swimmers, including non-swimmers who prefer to exercise in shallow water or by holding on to the poolside.

This is the best time to take advantage of unscheduled pool time. However, all efforts will be made to keep at least one lane available even during organized programs. Ask the lifeguard on duty, if you want an extra lane line put in or taken out. We’ll do our best to accommodate your needs.

Aquatic Exercise Programs

Aquatic group exercise classes are scheduled at various times and days each scheduling period

Masters Swimming

Adult competitive swimmers and those serious swimmers who want to improve their swimming technique, skills and overall fitness can attend coached workouts in the Masters Swimming program.
