• Private Events: To schedule a private event, email: [email protected].
  • Private Events can be scheduled between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. You'll need to submit your request at least one week ahead of the event in order for us to confirm the necessary lifeguards. You'll need a COI for 1 million minimum liability and 3 million aggregate, agree to a cleaning fee if your party does not clean up after themselves, and pay a fee of $125 an hour (2-hour min.) for up to a maximum of 50 people. Larger groups will need to reach out to discuss additional logistics and fees.
• Accessibility:
  • There is handicapped parking and two Aqua chair lifts for those needing assistance getting in and out of the pool.

• Inclement weather:
  • Lightning is the most likely reason why we'll need to close the pool. We will close the pool and remove everyone from the pool deck for a minimum of 30 minutes every time there is lightning within a 10-mile radius of the Centennial pool. Our staff and lifeguards use a combination of the WeatherBug & Weather Sentry apps to check for any lightning in the area we cannot see.
  • We do not close the pool if it's raining lightly. Heavy rain will prevent us from seeing the bottom of the pool and will force us to close the pool/pool deck until the rain slacks off, and we can see the bottom of the pool again.

• Lost and Found:
  • Any items found on the pool deck/locker rooms will be held in our pool office until the end of the summer. Email [email protected] with any questions.
• Pool Rules:
  • Lifeguards are allowed to limit the number of people entering the pool area based on a first come first serve basis. 25 patrons per lifeguard.
  • Children shall not use the pool without their adult in attendance.
  • Children 3 years old and younger, must wear a water-resistant diaper or equivalent.
  • All minors must be supervised by their parent/guardian at all times while they are at the pool. They are not to be left alone, to be picked up later.
  • Do not swim if you have had diarrhea within the past two weeks.
  • No animals allowed on the pool deck unless they are service animals.
  • No "chicken fighting" or getting on another's shoulders.
  • Do not swallow or spit pool water.
  • No flips into the pool.
  • Diving only allowed in the deep end after you've cleared the area.
  • No running or fast walking around pool deck.
  • No floats.
  • No loud speakers
  • No glass on the pool deck.
  • No alcohol, tobacco, or vapes of any kind.
  • Snacks are allowed only if you're able to clean up after yourself.
  • If a lifeguard closes the pool due to lightning, you must get out of the pool and off the pool deck fully outside of the fenced in area immediately. Take all of your belongings in case we aren't able to open back up. If the pool is able to reopen, you may wait in the locker rooms or your vehicle until the all clear is given.
  • Please do not distract the lifeguards. If you have questions or concerns about anything relating to the pool, email [email protected] Subject: "Pool Question"
