About

Ocean Pines has five pools, including one indoor pool open year-round and four outdoor pools open seasonally. The Aquatics Department offers swimming classes, lessons, aqua fitness, and special events geared to adults, children and families. 

Ocean Pines Pools

Ocean Pines Pool

Ocean Pines Aquatics makes every effort, when programming and space allow, to have a lap lane available at the indoor Sports Core Pool (open year-round), and at the outdoor Yacht Club and Swim & Racquet Club pools (open seasonally). Time constraints will be placed on those swimming laps as needed to accommodate demand for lanes.

Please note that posted hours of operation are contingent upon staff availability and are subject to change.

If Worcester County Public Schools operate on a one-hour delay for any reason or a two-hour delay due to fog, the pool will open at its regularly scheduled time.
