The pool at the BGC of Newport County is a standard 25 yard, 5-lane, saltwater pool, and consistently remains heated at a temperature of 82˚ or above. The water depth of the pool goes from 3ft (shallow) to 9ft 6in (deep). For patrons that need assistance in getting into the pool we have a chair lift that is able to lower them into the pool.
There are pool IFDs (Instructional Floatation Devices) like kickboards, Barbells, floatation belts, etc. that are available for use. Pre-registration is no longer required by all swimmers. The pool is operating on a first come first serve basis. Lane sharing is allowed within the pool and will be implemented as the number of swimmers increase. As a curtesy to all patrons, swim blocks are 45min.
