Get Involved – Join The Rockville Center Board!
The Rockville Center is a volunteer-led nonprofit, and the only way our community gets to enjoy this incredible facility is through the hard work and dedication of our board members and volunteers. To keep things running smoothly, we need more helping hands!
There are vacancies on the board, and we’re looking for community members like YOU to step up. No special experience is needed, —just a willingness to pitch in, get to know your neighbors, and give back to our amazing community. The team is laid-back, fun, and committed to making The Rockville Center the best it can be!
📩 For more info, reach out to our board President Josh Zubris.
Let’s keep The Rockville Center thriving—together! 💙
Exciting Pool Deck Expansion for 2026!
The Rockville Center Board continues to invest in improvements that make our facilities a welcoming place for families and the community to gather.
In 2025, we completed several exciting upgrades, including renovated pool bathrooms, new decking in the seating area, and a brand-new playground for our youngest members to enjoy.
Building on those improvements, 2026 will bring an expanded concrete pool deck, creating more space for members to relax and enjoy the pool. We’ll also be adding additional shaded areas and more lounge chairs to make the pool deck more comfortable during those hot summer days.
In addition, we are expanding the concrete area at the front of the center—often referred to as the “front porch.” This improvement will create a larger outdoor gathering space, making events and rentals at The Rockville Center even more enjoyable for guests.
These updates are all part of our ongoing commitment to improving the Rockville Center for our members and the community.
☀️ We can’t wait to see you at the pool this summer!

Swim Team Registration is Coming Soon!
Calling all swimmers! Registration for the Rockville Swim Team will open soon for the 2026 season.
Whether your swimmer is returning for another summer with the team or jumping in for the first time, swim team is one of the best parts of summer at Rockville. It’s a great way for kids to stay active, build confidence in the water, make friends, and be part of a fun team environment.
The Rockville Swim Team welcomes swimmers of all experience levels, from beginners learning the ropes to seasoned swimmers ready to race.
Practices, meets, team spirit, and plenty of poolside fun are all part of the tradition that makes swim team such a special part of summer here.
If you’re interested in joining the team this season, be sure to complete registration soon so coaches can begin planning for the summer. Practice Starts May 18!
We can’t wait to see our swimmers back in the water!

Cleanup Day!
Before we can open the gates for another great season, we need a little help from our community.
Each year, Rockville Center members come together to get the pool and grounds ready for summer, and many hands truly make light work. From setting up chairs and cleaning the deck to small projects around the property, there’s always something to do, and every bit of help makes a difference.
The Rockville Center is run entirely by volunteers, and this day is a big part of what keeps our center looking great year after year.
We also know spring sports are in full swing and schedules are busy, we get it! If you can spare even a short amount of time, we’d love the help (and the extra muscle).
Bring work gloves if you have them, wear clothes you don’t mind getting a little dirty, and come help us get everything ready for Opening Day.
Clean-Up Day
📅 April 25 (rain date 26th or the following weekend)
⏰ 9:00 AM
Stop by for a little while or stay – every bit helps and we appreciate it!
SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE
Opening Day – Saturday, May 23
The wait is almost over… Opening Day at The Rockville Center is Saturday, May 23!
After a long winter, it’s finally time for sunshine, cannonballs, and reconnecting with friends and neighbors around the pool. Our volunteers have been hard at work behind the scenes getting everything ready for another great season.
Opening Day kicks off the 2026 pool season, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back.
We’ll see you at the pool!

🌟 GLO Party at the Pool
🌟 Glo Party Recap
What a night! We had an amazing turnout for our first ever Glo Party. The food truck sold out early (Rockville came hungry!), and though we had to speed up the glow stick dump due to a storm rolling in, the kids still had an absolute blast. We may have missed the full glow, but the joy and community spirit were shining bright all evening. Thank you to everyone who came out and made it special!
