The pool at the Ocean City Aquatics and Fitness Center will be open at 5 a.m. on weekdays starting on Nov. 18, 2015.
Starting Wednesday morning (Nov. 18), the Ocean City Aquatic and Fitness Center will open an hour earlier to accommodate members who want to fit workouts into a busy daily schedule.
The city-owned facility will be open 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays on an experimental basis. The center had opened at 6 a.m. on weekdays.
Community Services Director Michael Allegretto said Tuesday that the city had received a written request signed by several members in favor of the additional pre-workday hours. He said the city will look at attendance records and re-assess the decision sometime around the holidays.
The center includes a 25-meter pool and an extensive weight and fitness equipment facility. It is open to paid members and daily visitors.
Saturday hours remain 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday hours 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
