The opening of Brandon’s outdoor Kinsmen Pool has been postponed for the season due to cracks, according to a media release from the city.

The 57-year-old pool was scheduled to open in mid-June, but crews noticed a six-inch water loss overnight and identified circulation problems.

Tests and inspections later revealed “multiple cracks in the circulation pipes,” per the city.

The city said two additional public swim times will be offered at Brandon’s Community Sportsplex pool on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m. A list of all public swim times is available online.

Updates on potential opening dates of the Kinsmen Pool will be provided by the city.
