Port Charlotte residents and water aficionados will need to put their swim plans on hold this coming weekend. The Centennial Park pool, a local splashy hangout at 1120 Centennial Blvd., is gearing up for a shutdown. But don't get your swim caps in a twist—it's for a good cause. The closure facilitates a spirited competition among swimmers, as the pool plays host to a swim meet from Friday through Sunday.
In preparation for the event, with the countless backstrokes and butterfly kicks that the pool will observe, doors will close earlier than usual at 12 p.m. this Friday, confirmed by an official announcement by Charlotte County. They've urged patrons to adjust their aquatic activities around this schedule. For more details, contact Kristen Huber at 941-764-4102.
