About the Town Pool

The Neighborhood House maintains and staffs the municipal swimming pool, located adjacent to Mt. Desert Elementary, on behalf of the Town of Mt. Desert. The pool typically opens for the season on the first day of the summer camp program.

A "Public Swim" program is offered, typically in the late afternoons during the week, and midday on the weekends. Exact hours vary from year to year and are dependent on lifeguard availability, weather, and other factors. Please note, young children must be accompanied by an adult and note that our pool lifeguard is there to watch the water and not intended to serve as a “babysitter.”

The Neighborhood House is always in search of certified lifeguards interested in helping staff the pool. If you or someone you know is a certified lifeguard (or interested in becoming certified), please contact us.
