The Southwest Pool, 2801 S.W. Thistle St., is now expected to remain closed at least through Oct. 4, according to the Seattle Parks and Recreation Department.

All swim programs are canceled through that date. Current lesson participants will receive a credit on their account for the canceled classes, according to Parks. A firm date for the pool’s reopening has not yet been identified.
 
During a maintenance closure to comply with the Virginia Graeme Baker Act, which calls for new drain covers, a leak was discovered under the pool deck. Workers are attempting to fix the leak without tearing up the pool deck.

If excavation is not necessary, the pool could open as early as Oct. 4. If excavation is necessary, the pool will likely be closed longer.
