Grab your bathing suits and be one of the first people to take a dip in the newly renovated Venetian Pool. The historic landmark will open once again to the public on Saturday, May 1st.

Most of the renovations may not be noticeable to guests but are nonetheless important in the maintenance of the aquatic facility. Contractors repaired cracks in the pool, replaced expansion joints, painted the pool floor and walls, made improvements to the chemical treatment system and circulation network, repaired the pool deck, added an ADA wheelchair lift and restored the pool’s iconic Venetian poles.

Until May 30, you can enjoy the pool Mondays through Fridays, 11 a.m. - 5:30 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays, 10 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. From May 31 until September 6th, pool hours are Mondays through Fridays, 11 a.m. - 7:30 p.m., and on Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Admission for residents is $5 for adults; $3.95 for children 3-12 years of age. Admission for the general public is $11 for adults; $6.30 for children 3-12 years of age. Children must be at least 3 years old and 38 inches tall to enter the facility.

Venetian Pool is located at 2701 De Soto Boulevard. For more information, call 305-460-5306.
