UPDATE Jan.4: The Town of Okotoks has reported that the filter treatments to resolve the water discolouration were successful and Swindells pool has reopened.

Residents wanting to use the Swindells pool at the Okotoks Recreation Centre will have to wait a bit.

The pool is closed Jan. 3 for treatment to the filters.

The Town will notify residents when it reopens.

The filter treatment is expected to remove the green coloration that has recently affected the water in the pool.

The Riley Minue pool and hot tub are still open with public swim.

The pool's hours are 10-11a.m., 2-5p.m., and 6-8:30p.m.

All swims are a loonie or twoonie until Swindells re-opens.
