December 15, 2025 – January 4, 2026

The Santa Monica Swim Center will undergo its Annual Preventative Maintenance Closure from Monday, December 15, 2025, through Sunday, January 4, 2026.

This year, we are planning extensive repairs on the Fitness Pool Deck, including replacement of the pool grates and concrete reinforcement as part of our winter maintenance. While we anticipate adhering to the scheduled reopening date, unforeseen issues may arise once repairs are underway. In the event that additional work is required, the closure period may be extended.

For the most up-to-date information on the closure timeline and project status, we encourage all patrons to visit the Santa Monica Swim Center website, where updates will be posted throughout the maintenance period.
