Jefferson Pool & Jefferson Community Center
The Jefferson Aquatic Center at 1620 College St. is a beautiful facility and is completely family friendly with zero depth entry, sprinkle play features and a little Nemo Slide. It slowly transcends into an exercise/leisure area. It also has three 25 yard lap lanes for the exercise enthusiast or competitive swimmer. If adventure excites you then we have a slide for you. Dark and curvy, this feature is a slide that extends outside the building and returns back inside, exiting a long run out. The facility also has a private party room and concession area. Jefferson Community Center has recreational swim times for when the pool is open to the public for general usage. Hours are seasonal.
