Erb Pool
We are uniquely privileged to have the opportunity to host two major outdoor long course summer swim meets - the Fox Cities Summer Classic and the Bird Bath Invitational. In cooperation with the City of Appleton, the Appleton Parks & Recreation Department, and the many, many supporters of swimming throughout the entire community, we proudly invite swimmers from near and far to experience these privileged waters.
