Parks and Recreation Scheduled to Open Pools Saturday, May 25th

Talbot County Parks and Recreation pool season will begin at 12 p.m. on Saturday, May 25.

The two pools that will be open are:

• George Murphy Pool, 410-820-7306, 501 Port Street, Easton, MD 21601
• Bay Hundred Pool, 410-745-6592, 911 S. Talbot Street, St. Michaels, MD 21663

This summer, the pools will be open on May 25-27, June 1-2, June 8-August 18, August 24-25, and August 31-September 2. Dates and times are subject to change based on the Talbot County Public Schools (TCPS) calendar, pool events, and weather conditions.

General pool admission is $5 (cash or check). Season pool passes are available for individuals, seniors, and families starting at $65. Membership forms can be found online on the Talbot Parks website (www.talbotparks.org) and should be returned and paid for at the Talbot County Community Center at 10028 Ocean Gtwy., Easton, MD 21601.

Children, ages 18 months through 18 years, and adults can register for free swim lessons at either pool thanks to the support of SOS Sink or Swim, a non-profit organization out of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. The organization has provided more than 6,500 free, learn-to-swim sessions since 2014, and has graciously continued support for the 2024 pool season.

The Bay Hundred Community Pool also offers Lap Swim time on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Water Aerobics on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Times vary.

Citizens may also reserve pools for private parties at either location. Reservations can be made for Friday, Saturday, or Sunday for either 6-8 p.m. for $300, or 6-9 p.m. for $400. Lifeguards and pool staff are provided. Pool pavilions are available on a first-come, first-served basis during public swim hours.
