The outdoor pool offers Bedford residents the opportunity to cool off during the summer months. The pool features zero depth entry, lap lanes, a large slide, and a splash park.

Programs include open and adult swim, American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim classes, youth swim team, and more. Bedford residents can enjoy open and adult swim with the purchase of a family or individual season pass or pay a daily drop-in fee. Non-Bedford residents may register and participate in Learn-to-Swim classes and can attend open swim as a guest of a Bedford resident passholder.
