People looking to beat the heat will have to stick with swimming outside for the next few weeks.

The Lawrence Indoor Aquatic Center at 4706 Overland Drive, will be closed through Aug. 19, for annual maintenance.

The Outdoor Aquatic Center, 727 Ky., will stay open, with its regular public swimming hours of 1 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. except on Aug. 16-17, when it will be open from 4 p.m. to 8:45 p.m.

All monthly and annual pass holders will receive 19 free days added to their passes, to make up for the shutdown, city officials said.

For more information on the pools, call the Lawrence Aquatic Division office, 832-7946.
