Swimming Pool does more than catch the eye — it cools body, mind and soul, too.

Open to the public, the swimming complex is a popular place, especially for the younger folk, on hot summer days. It is located at 173 Lakeside Drive and open noon to 8:30 p.m. when the sporadic mountain weather allows.
