Goodman Aquatic Center

Welcome to the Irwin A. and Robert D. Goodman Aquatic Center! Nearly 10,000 swimmers each year enjoy the beautiful 5,500 square-foot outdoor pool, located at the Irwin A. and Robert D. Goodman Jewish Community Campus in Verona.

SUMMER 2021

We plan to open the Goodman Aquatic Center for Camp Shalom and the community for summer 2021, barring any change in public health guidelines. We will be following CDC COVID-19 recommendations for public pool operations.
UPDATE 4/12/21: See the in-progress reopening plan for the summer season at the pool.

POOL CLOSINGS: Check the GAC Facebook page for weather or unexpected closings before heading to the pool.

The pool’s six 25-meter lanes make it great for lap-swimming, and its zero-depth entry make it accessible to everyone. When you’re out of the water, the pool’s shaded area and deck chairs offer a great place to lounge with friends and family, while enjoying a variety of delicious concessions available daily.

Our pool has a salt-water generator, making the pool better for the environment and for swimmers. This generator allows us to use salt, a natural element found in the earth, as a sanitizing agent, instead of relying on large amounts of liquid chlorine. The Goodman Aquatic Center is now home to large solar panels, which help to heat the pool water.

The Goodman Aquatic Center, which is located at 7762 County Highway PD, just 15 minutes from downtown Madison, is open to the public on Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm. On weekdays the community is generally invited to swim from 4:30 pm to 8:00 p.m, after Camp Shalom hours. There are extended weekday hours at other times throughout the summer. See complete schedule >
