Recreation swim takes place daily from 1 to 5 p.m. starting May 29 through September 6. Guests will enjoy a colorful new interactive play structure, sparkling new plaster and tile on the instructional and play pools, new concrete decking, and some other fun additions. The new features and repairs were part of a planned renovation project that began in 2020 and wrapped up this spring.

 

Other amenities available during recreation swim are the two-story water slide, a floating basketball hoop, 10 dedicated lanes for lap swimming, free-swim in the 50-meter pool (4.5-foot depth section), two diving boards, and the Poolside Café. The aquatic center’s trained lifeguarding staff are always on duty during recreation swim.

 

Daily summer lap swim begins May 29 with a variety of morning, afternoon, and evening session times. Lap swim is available by daily drop-in rates or with money-saving passes. Find lap swim schedules and fee and pass information online.
