A little information about the pool: Containing 192,681 gallons of water, Courtyard has 6 lanes that are 25 yards long. There is also a 12.5yd x 12.5yd wide x 11ft deep diving well. The Courtyard has lots of deck space and a cabana where your belongings will stay dry when it rains. Swimmers should enter and exit the pool at the gate located on the fence to the right when you first enter the parking lot. Please DO NOT use the main club house to access the pool. The main club house and locker rooms are NOT available for swimmers at this time. I’m currently working with the club to make available something for swimmers to use as a suitable changing room. Please respect the requests Courtyard has made to COTA.
