SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. — The City of Spokane Valley announced that free open swim days will be hosted at the Park Road Pool in Spokane Valley.
The open swim days will be held every Saturday starting July 30 and will run through August 27. The free swim days are sponsored by Pool World Spokane.
Pool World administrative assistant Kayla Watts said supporting the community is one of its company values.
“Pool World Cares is one of our programs that we have set up so we're able to take some proceeds that we get from community members or just from our sales at the business to give that back to the community,” Watts said.
According to a press release, free open swim will be available at Park Road Pool at the following times on Saturdays:
- 1:30-3:00 p.m.
- 3:30-5:00 p.m.
- 5:30-7:00 p.m.
Lifeguards said the cost to swim for an entire Saturday afternoon can cost up to $3 per person.
Jessica Ingles and her partner brought their son to the Park Road pool. She said her weekend plans can be more flexible with free swim.
“We’ve gone to the pool a few times already this year because it's not terribly expensive to begin with," Ingles said. "But being able to come down and pop in and out through the day and not worry about getting your dollar's worth of admission because it's free and you can come back for the next session. It definitely encouraged us to come down here and probably spend more time here than we originally would have.”
The Park Road Pool is located at 906 N. Park in the Valley. For questions regarding the free swim days, contact the Spokane Valley Parks and Recreation Department at (509) 720-5200.
