Sequim aquatic center to close for most of this month

SEQUIM — The Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center will be closed most of September, beginning today.

The facility at 610 N. Fifth Ave. known as SARC will be closed completely from today through

Sept. 22.

Pool facilities — including the sauna, steam room, hot tub and locker rooms — will be closed for a longer period of time, from today through Sept. 29.

Staff members hope the work can be completed early and the facility reopened to patrons, according to a statement.

Maintenance projects include fixing shower columns in the locker rooms and replacing wall and ceiling tiles in the women’s locker room; repainting the shallow pool; replacing tubing to pool pumps, pool lane markers and boards in the sauna/steam room; fixing a pipe in the hydrotherapy pool; and changing pool wiring, chlorinators and electric boxes, the statement said.

A deep-clean of all cardio and weight machines and floors is set, along with refinishing racquetball court floors, repairing a wall in the weight room and restoring and refinishing the gym floor.

The facility and grounds will be cleaned and pressure-washed, and traffic lanes and arrows in the parking lot will be repainted.

All landscaping will be trimmed.
