Pool Logo Contest Winners Announced
We are excited to announce that we have chosen a logo for the Pool. Congratulations to John Sousa and Katrina Alcalde as our Logo Contest Winners!
Logo Contest
We are excited to announce that we have chosen a logo for the Pool! Thank you to everyone that submitted entries for the contest! This is the first logo in the Pool’s 50+ year history!
The original logo entry was submitted by John Sousa, a Middlesex resident. The logo was then presented to the Middlesex High School Visual Arts Club for further enhancement. It was a very exciting project for the students! We received many great logos from the students and narrowed down the final logo to one that was created by Katrina Alcalde. Katrina is a Sophomore and in her second year in the Visual Arts Club. Katrina’s submission was adopted as our final logo. Congratulations to John Sousa and Katrina Alcalde as our Logo Contest Winners!
Thank you to MHS for your assistance in re-creating the official logo for the Middlesex Community Pool. A special thanks to Mr. Dow, Visual Arts Club teacher, for his hard work and guidance with the students to bring this project and final logo to fruition.

Community Pool: A Fall Poem
Twas the first day of Fall | Down at the pool; The pools were all covered | The weather was cool…
Twas the first day of Fall
Down at the pool
The pools were all covered
The weather was cool
The frog slide is ready for slumber
The snack bar is all packed up
Everything is tucked away
Nothing visible, not even a cup
Water slide is covered
Diving board packed away
Lane lines and diving blocks
Stored for another day
Dreaming of Summer
Seems so far away
Pool memberships and guest passes
Will be back one day
Fun in the sun and pool
So many memories held dear
Until next Summer
We'll be right here....
Your Middlesex Community Pool
