Did you know? Prior to Lincoln Pool opening in 1964, patrons swam in the Milwaukee River at the Lincoln Park Bathing Beach.

In 2009, the David F. Schulz Aquatic Center opened, featuring both a “river” and a “beach”.

Check out our lazy river and zero-depth entry very soon! Schulz opens on June 20th. View full hours and info at mkeswim.com.

May is National Water Safety Month 🛟

This Saturday, we teamed up with for a free water safety event, empowering our community with the skills to be safe around water this summer!

Participants learned how to:

1. Pick out a lifejacket that fits properly

2. Identify safety features and potential risks of a pool

3. Assess water conditions before entering

4. Use a ring buoy to help a swimmer in distress

Plus, an intro to swimming basics - safe water entry, blowing bubbles, bobbing, and kicking.

These families are well prepared for a safe summer of fun!

Milwaukee County Lifeguard Corps encourages all families brush up on water safety skills this May to ensure safety all summer long.

Our top safety tip is LEARN TO SWIM! Visit mkeswim.com to sign up for swim lessons starting in June!
