For your convenience, our pool closure and inclement weather notices will be posted here and updated regularly throughout each day. Prior to leaving your home for the J, check this webpage to see if things like thunder or lightning are likely to affect your time at the pool.

POOL STATUS:
Friday, August 15. Pool is open.

Aquatics

Our outdoor Aquatics programs are unsurpassed (unsursplashed?), featuring Aquatics Group Ex classes or Lap Swim throughout the week. In the summer months, members enjoy one of the tallest water slides in the Triangle, diving board, two fully accessible pools, a spacious pool deck with lounge chairs, tables, and snack bar, easy access to bathrooms and locker rooms, and highly trained lifeguards who are notorious sticklers for safety rules.

Scroll down and float through all the ways you can make waves at the J.

recreation pool

A heated five-lane, 25-yard recreational pool with a diving board and accessible zero-entry ramp. This pool is used throughout the year for Group Ex classes like Water Aerobics, Aqua Bootcamp, and Aqua Zumba. During certain parts of the summer days, a separate, wider lane hosts swim lessons for all ages and Lap Swim slots for older teens and adults. It is in our Rec Pool that our Water Dragons Swim Team takes center stage for practices and meets May through July.

FAMILY POOL

With a gently-sloped beach entry and a depth no deeper than three feet, this pool is perfect for families with young kids, who can sit comfortably and splash in inches-high water or wade around to play in all the spray features. As each younger splasher needs their adult nearby, we’ve made lounging by the Family Pool comfortable with an enormous umbrella shade and the closest access to the snack bar, locker rooms, and changing tables.
