Recently we were back in Washington D.C. visiting Cameron’s Grandparents and of course, the Wilson Aquatic Center! FYI – During the renovation of Wilson High School the entrance to the Aquatic Center is closed, so you have to enter from the Nebraska Avenue side (near the athletic field).
Cameron is ready to get his swim on!
While there I learned that the Wilson Aquatic Center will be closed from August 23 – September 14 for maintenance and a deep cleaning. According to the Department of Parks and Recreation website, here’s whats on the to-do list:
- Remove and drain all pool water according to local or federal regulations.
- Acid wash pool shell.
- Clean all pool drains.
- Service and perform maintenance on movable bulkheads.
- Purchase and install new lighting throughout the facility.
- Clean and seal all existing tile floors through-out the building.
- Check hydrostatic relief valves.
- Replace and recharge pool media for pool tanks.
- Install and clean pool lights and pool shell lights as needed.
- Pressure wash pool deck.
- Deep cleaning of offices, locker rooms and lobby area.
Sounds good to me! Although it’s an inconvenience to have the pool closed, it’s good that they are taking care of it so it is there for years to come for us all to enjoy.

This posting is no longer correct. The Wilson Aquatic Center is not closing for these renovations.
Please ignore my previous post. THE WILSON POOL IS CLOSED FOR THE RENOVATIONS LISTED IN THE ORIGINAL POST!
