Today is a free swim day, and the concession stand will be open.

Reminder- swimmers must be in appropriate swim attire, no coolers or food inside of the pool gate, and if you are feeling under the weather, please stay home.

UPDATE: These girls are nothing short of amazing!!
They showed up to compete this evening and are bringing home some hardware. Peyton has been a little stuck around the 5’ area for a little while. This is very common with high jumpers. Even the most skilled jumper gets stuck in their head from time to time. Today, she got over that hump and jumped 5’2” for a 5th place state finish.

Then we have Maddie. She is something special. This girl crushed it today. She had a HUGE PR. She is just so pretty to watch. If you know track and field, you’d know what that means. She is always smiling, but behind that smile is such a fierce competitor. She jumped 5’5” for a 3rd place podium spot.

You make us all so proud, Peyton and Maddie!!! Can’t wait to see you both soon.

Wishing our new Centennial Park Pool employee, Peyton, and our girl Maddie, the best of luck as they compete this week at the STATE track meet. Both girls qualified in the high jump. Go get ‘em girls! We are so proud of you both!!

After completing the repairs needed at the Centennial Park Pool, we will be opening at 1pm on Sunday, June 7th. This will be a free swim day. Passes will be available for sale, and the concession stand will be open.

Adult swim will begin Monday, June 8th from 12-12:45. Thank you for your patience. We cannot wait to see all of our favorite people.

Please keep in mind that the pool will only open when the air temperature is 70°+. Let’s cross our fingers the rain that is forecasted this weekend misses us because the air temperatures are going to be around 80.
