Pool Closure Notice: Tripler Pool is closed until further notice.

ATTENTION:
Please be advised that the Tripler Army Medical Center (TAMC) Pool (Bldg. 301, 315 Krukowski) will be temporarily closed starting December 30, 2025, until essential chemicals are received.

Why the closure? Recent routine testing and monitoring have identified a shortage of CO2 necessary to regulate and maintain proper pool chemistry. Because your health and safety are our top priorities, the facility will remain closed until these essential materials are delivered.

What happens next?
• DPW has an open work order submitted to rectify the situation.
• While the estimated delivery time is currently unknown, we are working diligently to obtain supplies and reopen the facility as quickly as possible.
• We will provide regular updates and notify the community as soon as the pool is ready to reopen.

We understand the pool is a valued part of our community and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
