Planet Swim Welcomed as New Operator of Solomon Calhoun Community Center Swimming Pool

St. Johns County has signed a contract with Planet Swim, making it the brand new operator of the swimming pool on the Solomon Calhoun Community Center (1300 Duval St., St. Augustine).

The contract was permitted by the St. Johns County Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting on April 7. Planet Swim will provide the swimming classes, water aerobics, free swimming time, and extra that guests to Solomon Calhoun have come to anticipate.

Daily prices will stay the identical: $2 for seniors, navy veterans, and youngsters, and $3 for adults. Planet Swim plans to take care of the next core schedule year-round, with numerous swimming applications scheduled all through the week (PDF) and the potential to develop programming:

• Monday via Friday: 6 a.m. to six:30 p.m.
• Saturday and Sunday: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“Our top priority is continuity for the community,” mentioned Gustavo “Gus” Calado, CEO of Planet Swim. “We want current members to feel confident that the programs they know and trust will remain in place, while also benefiting from extended hours and enhanced service. From there, we will thoughtfully build on that foundation.”

“This opportunity represents more than just facility management,” Calado added. “It’s about building a vibrant, inclusive aquatic environment that serves all members of the community—from young children learning to swim to adults seeking health and wellness solutions.”

“We’re excited to work with Planet Swim to provide great swimming opportunities to the community,” mentioned Ryan Kane, Director of Parks and Recreation.
