The new Piedmont community pool complex officially opened for business on Saturday. <\/p>\n
Pool diehards were on hand to celebrate the moment as Mayor Betsy Smegal Andersen cut the ribbon for a second time, and new aquatics staff were finally able to put their skills to work. <\/p>\n
The weather, and the school district\u2019s spring break timing, made for a sparse crowd on site, but many residents eager to test the waters made their way to the pool throughout the day.<\/p>\n
More information about swim lesson sign-ups to come later this week, the city said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
April will be a ramp-up month for the new pool \u2014 a chance to get in the water, explore the facility,\u00a0and start building routines before broader summer programming begins. From April 11 through\u00a0April 30, everyone can swim for $5 per visit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
