It had open.membership already. I think the pool is in need of major repairs that have been put off. My adult children are very sad!

As a city of Rockville, bit not woodley garden resident, this would have made me sad.

Rockville pool and neighborhood community pools are very different. It's a big loss for the neighborhood.

They have a 2025 team, but it will be the last year is my understanding.

There was a fire in the property several years ago. The property was sold. The new owners could not find a way to make the pool profitable.

What will happen to the property? Just a larger daycare?

Heard this sad news from other swim parents yesterday. It looks like most of the membership is headed to Potomac Woods or Rockville. Disappointing end for a nice neighborhood pool community.
