The swim center is providing the town's board of health with testing results every day until the water chemistry problems are fixed and the complex can reopen.

The center opened to the public last week despite not having a health inspection permit, according to a news release. Later that day, four people reported feeling sick after leaving the pool, which the town's health department determined was the result of chemical imbalances in the water.

After shutting down its three pools for an emergency health inspection and fixing the chemicals, the facility reopened on Friday for the weekend, Cohasset's town manager said in a news release. But on Monday morning, testing determined the levels of chlorine in the water were fluctuating, and the center was shut down again until all three pools can maintain a consistent chemical balance.

"Our staff, Trustees, volunteers and pool service company are working around the clock on these short term fixes," the Cohasset Swim Center said in a statement on Tuesday."We very much appreciate that every day matters in this shortened summer."
