The City of Watertown Aquatics Department has two facilities which provide programming to City of Watertown residents and non-residents alike: the Watertown Aquatic Center, a seasonal outdoor pool; and the Watertown Indoor Pool, a 6-lane competition pool located at the Riverside Middle School.

• Lap swim – lap swim programming is intended for participants who wish to swim continuously. Much like running on a track, lap swimmers swim from one end to another using standard strokes, kicking, pulling or drill work for a workout. Since there are limited lanes (6) at both locations, swimmers must share space. Please circle swim when there are more than 2 swimmers in a lane.

• Water Walking – Water walking programming is a fitness alternative to swimming laps and can be completed at various intensities. Have a physical therapy regiment? This is a great way to stay in shape and work on achy joints with a low gravity work out.

• Open Swim – a time where community members of all ages can come to the pool and enjoy what the Aquatics Department has to offer!
