The Pool

The Chebeague Recreation Center has an outdoor pool facility that is open to the public in the summer, from early July to early September each year. The pool facility includes a 25 yard, six lane in-ground pool with a shallow and deep end, a kiddie pool, an outdoor shower, and snack shack. CRC membership includes free, unlimited access to the pool, and others are able to purchase a pool pass or daily drop-in.

Stay tuned for dates and programs for the 2022 season, including the return of the Lifeguard Scholarship Program!

Support from the community makes it possible for the CRC to provide opportunities for both free Water Safety training & for our young adults participating in our Lifeguard Scholarship Program. These initiatives provide a safe environment for our pool visitors!

Teens are able to volunteer as a lifeguard at the CRC pool and earn a $1,500 scholarship towards further education. The Lifeguard Scholarship Program is returning in 2022 for a second summer and welcomes new applicants!
The CRC is hosting a Water Safety Instruction course, that would equip participants to encourage safe behavior in the water and to lead Learn to Swim classes. Water Safety Instructors do not need to be lifeguard certified. This course is open both to CRC staff and to the public!
