SUMMER POOL MAINTENANCE

As a reminder, the pools at Asphalt Green's UES and BPC campuses will be drained for cleaning and maintenance on Sunday, August 18. We plan to reopen the pools on Tuesday, September 3, and operate on a new fall schedule.

The fitness centers at both campuses will remain open during our annual summer pool maintenance so you can keep up your swim training with dryland workouts!
