JACOBS AQUATIC CENTER COMPETITION POOL IN KEY LARGO REOPENS AFTER REFURBISHMENT

KEY LARGO, FL – Jacobs Aquatic Center’s competition pool in Key Largo reopened on Saturday after a long-anticipated refurbishment. Monroe County Project Management worked with Parks and Beaches and StandGuard Aquatics, the pool’s operations company, to lower the impact of the closure on the community and patrons of the pool. A TDC grant funded the refurbishment.

“This was a real multi-departmental effort that would not have been possible without the cooperation of the Key Largo Volunteer Fire Department, FKAA, StandGuard Aquatics, Monroe County Roads and Bridges, Parks and Beaches, and others,” said Monroe County Senior Project Manager Suzi Rubio. “Thanks to this joint effort, we completed the refurbishment, filled, and opened the pool eight days earlier than anticipated.”

The pool liner refurbishment is the first since Jacobs Aquatic Center opened in 2002. The center is the home of the Orange Bowl Swim Classic, held the first weekend in January each year, and the management company also offers various community-centered programs, including Zumba, water fitness classes, swim lessons, and summer and break camps for children.
