As of Dec. 1, the Astoria Parks and Rec-
reation Department has temporarily sus-
pended fi tness classes due to limited staffi ng
in order to prioritize fall youth program-
ming at the aquatic center.
The center’s website states: “We have
currently suspended our swim lesson pro-
gram due to the rising number of COVID -
19 cases in our area. At this time we do not
have a start date for our next session of
swim lessons.”
Sunset Pool, in Seaside, has undergone
recent renovations in the last two years.
With 140,000 gallons of water, the main
lap pool is 25 yards long with six lanes.
A smaller (40,000 gallon) warm water
pool can be used for stretching and strength-
ening muscles in a low-impact environment.
Sunset Pool also has a hot tub, perfect
for a soak after a workout in a fi tness room
at the pool.
Pool users can take part in lap and open
swim times, with water fi tness programs
and swim lessons. First-aid and CPR certi-
fi cation courses are also available through-
out the year.

Both Astoria and Seaside pools host high
school meets throughout the winter sports
season.
