Facilities

Most would agree that Memorial Day weekend is traditionally the start of summer, and what better way to mark summer’s beginning than by the opening of a new season for the Galimore Community Pool on the Friday of Memorial Day Weekend, May 26, 2023, from 1:00pm to 4:00pm.

Operated by the St. Augustine Family YMCA, the pool is part of the Willie Galimore Community Center.

Hours

The pool will operate from May 27 through September 30, with modified hours going into effect on August 6, 2023.  Hours of operation vary by day of the week and swim schedules will include times for lap swim, camp swim, and family swim.  Swim lessons will be announced when they become available based on CDC guidelines and interest in the program.

2023 Daily Hours of Operation (May 27-August 5)

Lap Swim is based on pool capacity.  Times listed are when the facility is able to offer an extra lane.  At all other times, the aquatic staff will work with all programs to free up a lane for lap swimmers.  Please see lifeguard for assistance.

Family Swim availability will vary throughout the day depending on pool usage from programming.  We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this busy season. 

While we are constantly working to make your aquatic experience better, the schedule is subject to change.  We will evaluate the schedule every 30 days and post any updates as soon as possible.
