About

Ocean Pines has five pools, including one indoor pool open year-round and four outdoor pools open seasonally. The Aquatics Department offers swimming classes, lessons, aqua fitness, and special events geared to adults, children and families. 

Ocean Pines Pools

Ocean Pines Pool

Ocean Pines Aquatics makes every effort, when programming and space allow, to have a lap lane available at the indoor Sports Core Pool (open year-round), and at the outdoor Yacht Club and Swim & Racquet Club pools (open seasonally). Time constraints will be placed on those swimming laps as needed to accommodate demand for lanes.

Please note that posted hours of operation are contingent upon staff availability and are subject to change.
 

** Swim Member entry rule for all pools **

At facility opening times, Swim Members receive priority entry and will be called in first. After members have entered, regular patrons will be admitted. This early entry benefit applies only at the initial opening of the facility each day.

If Worcester County Public Schools are closed or open on a two-hour delay for snow or ice, the pool will open at 10 a.m. for all activities. If Worcester County Public Schools operate on a one-hour delay for any reason or a two-hour delay due to fog, the pool will open at its regularly scheduled time. In the event of more extreme snow or ice, it may be necessary to close the pool for the day or longer. Please visit Ocean Pines Aquatics on Facebook for the latest weather updates. Any aquatics classes missed due a delayed opening or closure will be made up.
