WILLIAMS – Despite the water shortage, the Williams Aquatic Center will open at the end of the month with a free swim.

The Friends of the Williams Aquatic Center will hold a Hawaiian party to celebrate the opening of the pool just after the Memorial Day parade. The Friends hold golf tournaments and other activities throughout the year to help keep the pool open and provide activities, such as swimming lessons, once it is opened.

The City of Williams generally provides free swim days when the pool is open, such as on Independence Day. The pool is located at 320 Railroad Avenue next to the Recreation Center.
