Saginaw Township Community Schools (STCS) is excited to announce the re-opening of the Sherwood Pool, after receiving $1.9 million in state appropriations for repair. A ribbon-cutting was held Monday, December 1st to celebrate.
The Sherwood Pool, located at Sherwood Elementary School, has been closed since February of 2022, due to structural problems and a defunct dehumidification unit that has aged out of available parts.
The Sherwood Pool has been used for over 35 years for daytime Aquatics Exercise for older adults, evening Exercise Boot Camp for adults, Swim School for children being taught how to swim, and Lifeguard Training. The pool will go back to being open five days per week, from morning to evening. Every year, hundreds of participants use the pool and it provides quality-of-life for many of the Township’s older adults and swim lessons for children. It is the only warm water pool (86 degrees) in the area, with easy access, which are major benefits for all participants.
