MENTOR, Ohio — This summer, residents in Mentor will be able to cool off at the Mentor Civic Center Pool. The Lake County General Health District approved the opening of the pool beginning Saturday, June 13.

According to the city of Mentor, the following changes will be put into place, including no swimming lessons available this year:
- Pool access will be available to Mentor residents ONLY. Proof of residency will be required for Season Passes and Day Passes.
- Occupancy will be limited to 300 guests at any given time.
- Those 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
- Pool features including the obstacle course, climbing wall, kiddie pool, and splash pad will NOT be available for use.
