Long Center Pool Closing For Renovations

Published on January 31, 2025

The Long Center Natatorium Renovation Project will begin on Feb. 18, and will continue through Spring 2026. The Long Center pools will be closed during the renovation. However, the fitness center, gymnasium, Aging Well Center and other programming at the Long Center will continue as scheduled. The natatorium is the indoor pool enclosure.

Passholders will still be able to use the other Long Center amenities and have access to other city of Clearwater pools, which will be open extended hours during the renovation. Morningside and Ross Norton pools are heated and will be available for lap swim seven days a week, once the Long Center closes.
