The Sudbury Park and Recreation Department brochure is emailed to our database of Recreation and Pool Members four times per year. The brochure is emailed in August (Fall), December(Winter), March(Spring & Summer "Camp" information), and June(Summer). The brochure has information on the various programs offered by the Recreation Department including Atkinson Pool and Teen Center events.

Monthly memberships can be cancelled at any time after the initial 3 month minimum commitment. Either send a letter in writing or an email to gouldingt@sudbury.ma.us stating that you would like to cancel your membership by the last day of the month. All of the monthly memberships automatically get renewed on or around the 10th business day of the month.

Membership cancellations must be done in writing; we do not accept verbal cancellations.  This is done primarily to ensure that the cancellations are handled properly and to reduce the risk of one getting lost.

All that you need to do is stop by the pool and fill out a membership application and we can process your membership and activate your membership that day. The process usually takes about 10 minutes. Unfortunately at this time we cannot process memberships over the internet.

The Atkinson Pool is an 8 lane, 25 yard indoor lap pool facility. The pool is kept at 82.5 degrees and is 3 1/2 feet deep in the shallow end and 6 feet deep in the deep end. There are stairs leading into the pool on both sides of the shallow end. This pool is frequently used for lap and fitness swimming, family swim and swim lessons.

We also have a seperate diving well that is 12 1/2 feet deep and is kept at 84 degrees. This pool is frequently used for springboard diving, aquajogging and scuba instruction.

The Sudbury Swim Team is a competitive swim team open to the youth of Sudbury and surrounding towns. The team aspires to create an environment where the swimmers enjoy the experience of competitive swimming through improvement of their stroke and racing techniques, improved personal race times, appreciation of the team friendships and team spirit. To this end, the program is designed to maximize personal enjoyment and improvement. We hope that each swimmer will take full advantage of the team experience.

The Sudbury Youth Swim Team is open to swimmers age 7 and up who demonstrate proficiency in the freestyle, backstroke and the breaststroke. Children who are 6 years old are welcome to try out for the team but unless they are exceptionally strong swimmers, the team will most likely recommend waiting until they are 7 years old. All new swimmers are asked to attend a Coach's assessment prior to the beginning of the season at the Atkinson Pool to determine their readiness to participate on a competitive swim team. The assessment will involve the child demonstrating their swimming skills and having an opportunity to meet and talk with the coach. We will not accept swimmers who need basic swimming instruction.

Team Registration:
Each August we have an in-house registration period for current team members and their siblings. These will be mailed out in mid-August. This extends until October 1st. Applications for interested new swimmers will be available here on our website and at Brines Sporting Good Store and at Atkinson Pool beginning July 1-September 30th. Applications are due no later than October 1st.. New swimmers will be accepted officially on the team beginning on October 2nd and spots will be offered on a first come first served basis according to receipt of application and number of available open spots. Parents whose children are placed on a waiting list will be called and/or emailed to inform them of this status. Preference will be given to children from Sudbury and those children who were on the waitlist from the previous year. This information is posted in the quarterly recreation bulletin from the town of Sudbury as well as posted at the Atkinson Pool.

Team Size:
We have the capacity to serve 144 swimmers. This is the maximum number of swimmers the team can support given our pool and staffing resources. This allows for approximately +-30 children within each age category. Once the capacity is reached for each age group or the whole team , children will be placed on a waiting list

The Sudbury Swim Team uses the Atkinson Pool as their home pool.  The team is run privately by a volunteer board of directors.  For more information about the Sudbury Swim Team and information about registering your child visit thier website, http://www.sudburyswimteam.org
