The Bluffton Community Swimming Pool will open - weather permitting - on Saturday, May 25. Because that is the date of Bluffton High School's graduation, pool hours will be 1 to 4 p.m. Admission will be free on the 25th only.
The pool will be open Sunday, May 26, and Monday, May 27 (Memorial Day) and then will close until Friday, May 31, when it will officially be open for the rest of the season.
