Martin, Tenn.–The University of Tennessee at Martin Elam Center swimming pool will remain closed during the month of June. Beginning in July, university officials will evaluate the current COVID-19 conditions to determine the next steps toward safely reopening.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, all traditional recreational swimming, swimming lessons and pool parties are suspended indefinitely. A decision to reopen at a later date in the summer may be decided; however, there is a possibility of the swimming pool being closed for the summer.
A July or later opening will allow only fitness-lap swimming and therapeutic exercise/swimming. Pool access will be limited to patrons 16 years of age and older, and the number of patrons will be limited according to social-distancing guidelines. All locker rooms will be closed according to CDC standards.
More information will be released after July 1. Visit www.utm.edu/coronavirus to view the latest COVID-19 pandemic updates for UT Martin.
