Connecticut Institute For Communities is opening its public pool at the Danbury Community Center.  Extensive renovations to the pool were recently completed.  It's located in Malloy Hall on Boughton Street, the former Danbury YMCA. 

Pool operations will begin on Saturdays, starting December 28th, later to be expanded to additional days of the week as demand warrants and resources allow.  All pool services will be available for a membership fee of $1 per month, per person, through March 31, 2020. 

CEO Jim Maloney says having a pool in downtown Danbury fills a critical need as it's the only pool in the city to serve the general public and also to offer swimming and water-safety lessons to young people. 

The renovation work was funded by a grant from the State of Connecticut, with swimming pool operational grant support from The Peter and Carmen Lucia Buck Foundation. Multiple structural and safety enhancements were made to the pool, including installing new drains, pumps and skimmers, and repairing a large crack in the bottom of the pool. A special pool air-handling system was also installed.
