Wayland Community Pool, Wayland

Wayland Community Pool's 10 lanes remain open for backstrokes, cannonballs, and flip-turns even when summer's heat gives way to winter's frigid temperatures. While the 25-yard lap-pool is typically outside, a temperature-controlled bubble covers grounds during the cold months, which means the swim team doesn't get slowed down by debilitating shivers or bulky chinchilla coats. All of the pool's programs—including swim lessons for children, water fitness classes for adults, and open swims for all swimmers—keep going throughout the year, without regard to seasonal temperature swings.
