Welcome to the Cape Community Pool! This is a valuable shared space, and its usage is regulated by New Hanover County to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all residents. Please review the following guidelines before using the pool.

General Use & Access

Swim Programs & Equipment Restrictions

• Swim programs (e.g., lap swimming, water aerobics) may be scheduled Monday–Friday mornings to maximize open swim time. Currently, no programs are scheduled.

Safety & Security Measures

• A 911 emergency phone is located on the east side of the pool house. This line is directly linked to county dispatch and should only be used for emergencies.
