Lifeguard Training Course
Our next Lifeguard Training Course will be held during spring break, Monday, April 1 through Friday, April 5.
Are you or anyone you know interested in in becoming a lifeguard? We are offering an American Red Cross Lifeguard Training Course designed to prevent and manage emergencies in and around the water. This training includes water and land rescue techniques and how to deliver critical care such as CPR, use and AED and perform first aid when moments matter.
Course requirements:
- Must be 15 years or older to register
- 100% attendance for all in-person training days and completion of the online portion of the course is required in order to receive certification
- A swimming assessment will be required on the first day of training. The assessment consists of:
- 150-yard swim using either front crawl, breaststroke or a combination of both, followed by 2 minutes of treading water using only the legs, followed by a 50-yard swim using front crawl or breaststroke.
- Swim 20 yards, dive no less than 10 feet, and retrieve an object weighing 10 pounds. Return to the starting point keeping both hands on the object, and the face out of the water. Remove the object, and then exit the pool without using stairs or a ladder

Water slide update
We want you to be aware that the repair work on our Splashtacular waterslide is still underway, and unfortunately will need to remain closed for the foreseeable future. Our team is working diligently to ensure the safety and quality of the slide before it is able to reopen to the public.
We understand this news may be disappointing for our valued guests. To provide an exciting alternative during this time, we are thrilled to introduce our latest addition the Fire Blaster! This dual inflatable slide stands tall at 18 feet and brings excitement for all ages!
Thank you for your continued support and understanding as we strive to provide a safe and fun aquatic experience for everyone.
