Certifications classes are now offered at the discounted rate for $67. Receiving your lifeguard certification certifies you to become a lifeguard with the City of El Paso.

Instructor-led courses are in person and blended-learning courses are a hybrid online and in-person combination.

Prerequisites before enrolling in the class include swimming 300 yards, continuously demonstrating breath control and rhythmic breathing (candidates may swim using the front crawl, breaststroke or a combination of both, but swimming on the back or side is not allowed); tread water for two minutes, using only the legs, (candidates should place their hands under the armpits); and complete a timed event within 1 minute and 40 seconds.

Good morning, are games still on this morning in the northeast? Northeast Regional Park.
Hello! I tried to call but no one answers. When will the construction project be completed on the Sandstone Ranch Estates Park? There has been a fence around the playground since April, but nothing has been done.

Looking for solo adventurers, families, or couples with novice-level skills. (Only one hotel room per overnight stay will be provided.)

Can someone point me to where I can find information regarding the opening dates for different city pools? In particular, I am wondering about the opening date for the Hawkins pool. TIA.

So what’s going on at the chamizal rec center. It barely opened and there’s some sort of remodeling going on?

How do I buy a swim pass for a senior and how do I change a reservation from one location to another? I ca not figure it out and no one answers the phones I call.
When is the water park at Don Haskins park (High Ridge) opening?
It absolutely broke my heart to see these father's having to watch their children play football today, at fields that 100% accomodate social distancing. To watch the kid that made a TD, run to the fence to high 5 his Dad😪I can understand not allowing large groups, but is it really too unreasonable to allow both parents to attend?
