About the Pool:

The Somerset Area School District Swimming Pool is a 25 yard, six lane, shallow (3ft 6in)/deep(6ft) facility.  It has recently been renovated including a new roof, walls and a resurfaced deck.  We also have an ADA handicap lift.  Come check it out!   

Lap Swim/Fitness:

The Somerset Area Swimming Pool offers specific times for the public to use the pool for lap swimming and water walking/jogging.  During these hours, only fitness swimming activities are permitted.  There is one lap lane available during most open swim hours and water aerobics.  Please be sure to check the monthly schedule for any changes.  We are here to help you get as much out of the pool as possible, so please ask.

Locker Rentals:

Lockers are available for no cost.  Sign up in the office for a school issued lock and locker.  If your locker is not registered, we have the authority to remove items.  Please be aware that lockers may need cleaned out due to certain circumstances.   

 Providing a safe and fun environment is our number one goal!
