Dimond Park Pool to close for swimming state championship

Public swimming at the Dimond Park Aquatic Center in the Mendenhall Valley will be closed starting at 2 p.m. Thursday. It will remain closed until Sunday, when it resumes regular operations.

The closure is due to the 2016 Alaska State High School Swimming and Diving Championship, which will run from Thursday through Saturday.

During this time, the Augustus Brown Pool downtown will maintain regular hours, and it will offer “a few additional swim sessions during DPAC’s closure,” according to a city press release.
