Do you see what I see in the pool?

T-minus 11 days...till...cannonballs!

Hopefully by the end of the year we'll have our proper unveiling of the additional features and donor recognition items of the incredible community effort!

To compound things everyone is aware of the recruitment and retention challenges of all employers especially our city pools. So if you know anyone that would be a good lifeguard, attendant or instructor make sure they apply now!

There's a lot of work going on behind the scenes and it's slow going under pandemic conditions. We appreciate the community's patience.

This summer looks SO much better than last! Let's all be smart and safe in our community so capacities can return to 100% soon!

La Crosse's three public pools and splash pads will reopen this summer with reduced capacity and COVID protocols in place, after they remained closed last summer due to the pandemic.
