The Nellis Memorial Pool was originally built in 1966 and underwent a renovation in 2008.

The pool has housed educational swim programs, competitive swim programs, and certification courses.

The pool is free to use during open swim times for our community.

It is the mission of the Nellis Memorial Pool to provide fun, safe, and educational opportunities to the Canajoharie community with a focus on aquatics.

As always, if the school is closed the pool is closed.
