Summer Camp Registration | April 1

It's almost time for summer camp! Registration opens on April 1 at noon!

Healthy Bones Aquatic Fitness Class

Augustus G. Brown Swimming Pool is rolling out a new aquatic fitness class! Stop by the pool on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. for an all-ages class designed to provide a gentle yet-effective workout for those seeking to improve strength and joint care. Through low-impact exercises in the water, participants will engage in movements that strengthen muscles, enhance flexibility, and reduce joint stress. The buoyancy of the water provides a safe and supportive environment, making it ideal for individuals with arthritis or those looking to prevent bone density loss. The class emphasizes posture, coordination, and overall mobility to help boost confidence and prevent falls. No registration is required—just show up with your swimsuit, towel, and water shoes (optional but recommended!). Regular pool admission applies, and pool passes are accepted.

Juneau loves its pools!

From the renovation of the Augustus G. Brown Memorial Pool in downtown Juneau to expanded swim lessons and special activities, CBJ Parks & Recreation is working hard to deliver high-quality facilities and services to our community. Here’s an update on what we’re doing to make sure everyone in our community has access to Juneau’s pools and aquatic programs:

Juneau Pools currently operates with the support of approximately 150 staff members; of which include Lifeguards, Aquatic Attendants, Swim Instructors, Fitness Instructors and various administrative staff. Working for our pools is a great experience whether you are seeking part-time or full-time employment. Our employees enjoy these benefits (and more!):

  • Flexible Scheduling
  • Ongoing training opportunities
  • Opportunities to explore other positions, e.g. some lifeguards and aquatic attendants also teach or aid swim lessons!
  • Free swim passes
  • Free certification courses to prospective & current employees

As a maritime community, staff at Juneau Pools work hard to ensure every child in Juneau has the opportunity to learn how to swim, regardless of their ability to pay. We are currently offering an average of 9, three-week sessions per year and host Juneau High School’s swim team and Glacier Swim Club. In 2025, Juneau Pools swim lessons saw a 30% increase in participants with an overall offering 10 more activity sessions. This means about 400 more people were able to both learn how to swim and advance their water safety knowledge! We are thrilled to be able to support, and promote safety within, our community and to provide programs for our youth that build confidence and encourage healthy ways of living. We are committed to keeping fees for swim lessons as low as possible. To further create swim lesson accessibility, we have a   scholarship program that will cover the entire cost of swim lessons, as well as things like pool passes and swimsuits for eligible youth.
