The Biloxi Natatorium will be closed Thursday and will re-open next Thursday, Feb. 28 after workers have repaired the pool’s expansion joints and wall tiles.
While the Natatorium is closed, the pool at the Donal M. Snyder Community Center on Pass Road will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The expansion joints at the Natatorium pool allow the concrete under the pool’s plaster bottom adequate room for expansion and contraction without damaging or cracking the bottom of the pool.
Workers also will repair the caulking that protects and seals the tiles lining the pool.
