HANOVER TOWNSHIP — Senior residents can once again beat the summer heat with a refreshing dip, as the Township’s Recreation Department and the Mayor’s Wellness Campaign proudly announce the return—and expansion—of Thursday night swim nights at Bee Meadow Pool.
Beginning Thursday, July 3, 2025, residents aged 60 and older will enjoy free pool access every Thursday evening from 6:00 p.m. to closing. Proof of Hanover Township residency is required upon entry.
“Last year’s pilot program was a great success,” said Mayor Thomas ‘Ace’ Gallagher. “Our residents loved it! Working with the Recreation Department and the Bee Meadow Pool staff, we expanded the program to include July, not just August like last year.”
The popular Water Aerobics program, led by instructor Denis McGovern, is also returning this summer. Classes will be held every Tuesday morning from July 8 through August 26, offering two 45-minute sessions at 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. at Bee Meadow Pool.
Open to Bee Meadow Pool members and Hanover Township residents aged 18 and older, the aerobics classes are designed for all skill levels. No advanced swimming ability is required, as sessions are held in the middle section of the main pool where participants can stand comfortably.
The program fee is $70.00 for Senior Citizen Club members and $75.00 for all other pool members and residents.
