Officials with the Bainbridge Island Aquatics Center announced today that the Ray Williamson pool will be closed for routine maintenance beginning Saturday, Aug. 2.

During the summer months is the preferred time to schedule pool maintenance so as to avoid interrupting any of the near-constant school programs that rely on the facility, said Mark Benishek, Bainbridge Island Aquatics Center administrator.

The pool is slated to reopen Monday, Aug. 18.

The Bainbridge Island Aquatics Center is located at 8521 Madison Avenue. It is a two-pool facility. The Don Nakata pool will remain open throughout the coming weeks.
