1. When is Echo Hollow Pool closing? When will it be re-opened?

Echo Hollow Pool will be closing February 22, 2020 for renovation. The renovation is expected to take about a year, with reopening in early 2021.

2. Will there be lap lanes elsewhere to compensate for the Echo Hollow closure?

Amazon Pool will be open for lap swim only beginning Monday, February 24 and will remain open throughout Echo Hollow Pool’s renovation. There will also be lap swimming available at Sheldon Pool.

3. I have an Echo Hollow pass. Will that be good at the other pools?

Echo Hollow Passes are valid only at Sheldon Pool. Echo Hollow Pool memberships sales will end mid-February to make patrons more aware of our upcoming closure. Patrons can purchase either Sheldon Pool or Amazon Pool memberships. Amazon Pool memberships must be purchased for Amazon Pool.

4. I take lessons, attend Rec Swim or water fitness. Will the City of Eugene Rec be offering those classes elsewhere?

Sheldon Pool will be offering additional Water Fitness classes and Swimming Lessons during the renovation.

5. I lap swim and prefer to swim outside. What kind of lap passes are available for Amazon Pool?

You may purchase a one-time, 10-visit or 30-day pass for lap swim that can be used at both Amazon and Sheldon pools. Because Amazon Pool is now open the full year rather than a shorter season, we are no longer able to offer the Amazon lap swim season membership pass.

6. If there is no Season Lap Pass, what is the next best thing?

There will still be summer season memberships available.

7. I use Silver & Fit at Echo Hollow. Where else is that pass accepted?

Silver & Fit memberships are valid only at Sheldon Pool after the Echo Hollow Pool closure. Renew Active memberships are valid at Sheldon Pool and Amazon Pool. Silver & Fit is not accepted at Amazon Pool because Silver & Fit requires fitness equipment/a fitness center, and Amazon Pool does not meet those requirements.
