Grand Forks Pools

Grand Forks Pools Non profit group to promote the need for a community recreational and competitive aquatic facility. This pool is slated to shut down in 2024.

Grand Forks is about to lose a majority of their community competitive pools. In the recent past there were six lanes at the Red River High School, that pool has now been shut down and filled in. Last fall Central High School drained its pool due to HVAC issues and closed their six lane pool indefinitely. UND has a plan to shut down the Hyslop pool which has eight - 50 meter lanes or sixteen - 25

yd lanes. Once the Hyslop pool at UND is shut down there will only be a five lane pool remaining at the YMCA and the three lane pool at Choice Health and Fitness. We all know how critical pool access is to the health and well being of our community. Families with young children know how tough it is to access swim lessons for their children. The current pool at UND is currently a key provider of swim lessons in Grand Forks. The Hyslop pool not only is a key provider of swim lessons in the community, it also is home to rescue training for local Sheriff and Police departments. It houses numerous organizations such as Masters Swimming, the RRV Wahoo swim club, Boys and Girls High School swim for Red River and Central, UND club swimming, and open swim for many others. Once this pool closes all of these organizations will have minimal or no access to facilities. The UND pool has long term issues and without a College swim team it is understandable that UND cannot continue to operate this facility. We believe that a new Grand Forks Park District facility that houses both a Lane Pool and a Turf Facility is imperative for community growth and well being.

Help Keep Our Swim Team Afloat!
Right now, our team doesn’t have a home pool, which means more travel to out-of-town meets—and more expenses. Not to mention practice equipment.

You can make a big splash with a small gesture! Every donation helps our swimmers stay in the water, train hard, and chase their goals. Thank you for supporting our team!

One step closer

We aren’t done yet! We need to continue speaking to our city leaders about the importance of building this facility correct from the beginning. We can’t add a pool later!

The complex is expected to begin construction sometime in the late spring.

We would like to have a strong showing from swim families at this meeting to show the council how important this facility is to our program and the Grand Forks community. If you are unable to attend the meeting, we encourage you to reach out to council members and continue to spread the message.

We want the council to know that both the 50 meter pool and training pool are critical both for community impact and for generating economic development with events.
