Bubble rentals may be booked online. Please create an account and request your booking here.

Please note that Bubble Rentals require a full hour booking so if you see it split in two time slots, please request both.

You will be billed only the $60 Bubble Rental Fee.

Bubble rentals are “friends and family” rentals at a lower rental fee. They are a "leftover" from the pandemic when we were limited to groups of 25. We have kept this in place for both popularity, and that it fits with what we have capacity for from a staffing perspective. Later in the summer, we plan to offer larger rentals and increase the price for those custom requests.

Due to current staffing levels all rentals, and public swims are subject to a limit of 25 in the pool.

**Please note: Pool schedules are subject to change
