2026 Pool Closure Notice
The Town of Bethel will not be opening the pool this year, due to continued deterioration of the pool itself. We have a working group started that will be reaching out to residents to gather input about the future of the recreation area. We expect there will be a survey in your tax bill and on our website in the near future and we urge you to complete and submit it.
If you wish to enroll a child in swimming lessons, here is a list of places you should contact as soon as possible:
1. Randolph VT Recreation Department 802-728-5433 Ext 18
2. Woodstock VT Recreation Center 802-457-1502
3. Killington VT Recreation Department 802-422-2711

6. Barre Municipal Swimming Pool 802-479-7098
7. Northfield Memorial Pool 802-485-5411
To help offset the cost of enrolling a child for swimming lessons at another facility, the Town of Bethel will offer a one-time, $25 reimbursement per child enrolled. Only Bethel residents are eligible for reimbursement, and a receipt of each enrollment is required. Bring your receipt(s) to the Town Office and we will process your check within 15 days.
