WEEKEND: Mountain View offers free Sunday swim time in Port Townsend

PORT TOWNSEND — Escape the November chill and take a dip in the Mountain View Pool for free this Sunday from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. for adults only and open recreation swim from 2:15 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Free “Second Sunday Swims” are brought to the community by a collaboration between the JeffCo Aquatic Coalition, YMCA, city of Port Townsend and Jefferson County & Port Townsend Leader.

Adults-only from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. is for laps, water walking and deep-water exercise.

Children younger than 8 must be accompanied in the water by an adult.

Anyone is welcome at the pool, located at 1925 Blaine St.

Edensaw Woods is the sponsor of this month’s recreation swim, while Jefferson Healthcare continues to host the adult swim.

Mountain View Pool is the only public pool in Jefferson County.

With the closure of SARC in Sequim, it’s now the only open public pool between Port Angeles and Shelton on the east side of the Olympic Peninsula.

Although it was built in the 1960s, there have been recent city-funded improvements, including a new liner, lighting and heat and ventilation system.
