You can put in your miles swimming laps, slide and splash down the slippery water slide, practice rolling a kayak, join an adult pool exercise program, compete on a swim team, learn to lifeguard, practice your flips and spins in the diving area, don a scuba tank and explore the undersea world and, best yet, finish off each visit with a relaxing soak in the hydrotherapy pool. As citizen and City Councilman, Arne Hanna gave freely of his time and money during the last years of his life to insure that we would be able to enjoy this facility today. The Aquatic Center proves that a facility can succeed when trying to be many things to the community it serves. Along with this success, the cheerfulness, warm welcome and tireless community service demonstrated by Arne continues at the center dedicated to him.
Swimmers enter through the changing rooms where lockers are provided.
From the top of the slide, views through the bubble window prove why some people describe the pool s location as center field for Joe Martin Baseball Stadium. The main pool is 25 yards long and provides up to 8 lanes. Depending on the schedule, some or all of the lanes are available for lap swimming. Portions of the pool may also be open for recreational swimming or water exercise classes. The hydrotherapy pool is located in the quiet, far corner and is surrounded by large windows.
