📢 Kenwood Cove Schedule Update: Open Through August 10th!
Great news, Kenwood Cove friends!
After reviewing staff availability, we’re happy to announce that Kenwood Cove will remain open with normal hours now through Sunday, August 10th, which was our originally scheduled final day of the season.
When we planned our summer season back in January, we based our schedule on the USD 305 school calendar available at that time, which listed August 8th as the first day back to school. We were unaware that an updated version had since been released, and we appreciate your understanding as we worked quickly to evaluate options in light of the new information.
We’re also excited to share that we’re extending Water Walking and Lap Swim through Saturday, August 9th, so you can keep enjoying those early morning and evening sessions a little longer!

Thank you for your patience and continued support. Let’s make the most of these final days of summer — we’ll see you at the Cove!
