Pool Closure Policy

The City of Livingston may be required to close due to mechanical problems, inclement weather, or other incidents. 

Inclement Weather Policy

The City of Livingston Pool is an outdoor recreational facility and therefore is subject to weather conditions. For the safety of our facility users and staff, the City of Livingston Pool will monitor weather conditions daily and may be required to adjust the pool schedule accordingly.

Inclement weather may include (but not limited to) any of the following conditions:

• air temperatures of 60 degrees or below
• water temperature of 104F or above
• enough wind to cause limited to no visibility under the surface of the water
• Thunder and/or lightning
• poor air quality due to wildfires

In the event of inclement weather: 

• Should swim lessons need to be canceled, the City of Livingston Pool staff will make every effort to contact the participant(s) by phone and will post reminders to 'Livingston City Pool' Facebook page.
• Open swims and other classes/activities may be postponed or canceled.
• In the event of thunder and/or lightning, the facility will be closed for a minimum of 30 minutes from the last sighting/hearing. Refunds are not issued as a result of unscheduled pool closures due to weather.
