(Atlantic, Iowa) – Nishna Valley YMCA Executive Director Dan Haynes said today (Thursday), there will be a slight delay in the opening date for the Sunnyside Pool, in Atlantic. Recreation officials have been notified by ACCO, that the essential pump has arrived and is being  installed at Sunnyside Pool, with an anticipated completion of sometime next week. This has extended the opening of the pool by approximately one week. The actual opening date will be dictated by the installation process and timeline. The public will be notified as soon as the opening date is known.

While this brief setback may postpone the summer splash, Haynes says the team is diligently working to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all patrons.

In the spirit of community collaboration, the local YMCA has extended its facilities to Sunnyside Pool members during this interim period. Paid Sunnyside members are invited to enjoy the YMCA’s pool amenities at no additional cost until Sunnyside Pool is up and running.

“We appreciate the patience and understanding of our community members as we work to finalize the necessary installations to ensure a fantastic swimming season.”  Stay tuned for further updates regarding the exact opening date of Sunnyside Pool.
