Julie, Elai, and I went and checked out the Cedar City Aquatic Center this evening. All we can say is WOW! It is AMAZING! First off, it has three pools. A leisure pool, a lap pool, and an outdoor pool. The leisure and lap pools are both inside. Next, the south side of the building has big bay doors that open out onto a big patio next to the outdoor pool. So, you get a beautiful view of Cedar Mountain while you swim both inside and outside. Here is a description of each pool:
Lap pool- This is a typical competition lap pool. It is not Olympic size, but is a standard competition pool.
Outdoor pool- This is a seasonal pool, and the only one with diving boards (2 to be exact). But it does have a shallower section with fountains.
Leisure pool- This is the pool pictured above. This is the coolest pool! It has a lazy river, a standard pool section, a kiddie pool, a hot tub, and the awesome water jungle gym you can see in the picture above. There is also a dark, closed tube water slide that is a huge adrenaline rush.
The aquatic center also has an exercise room, a concession counter, a party room, is pirate themed, and offers different types of classes both in and out of the water. The center sits on a complex that includes four baseball fields, a couple outdoor basketball courts, and a small lake for fishing and boating and beach lounging. You can also rent canoes and kayaks from the center for use on the lake.
Elai had a blast! He loved splashing in the water, and didn't mind water being splashed in his face. He is so much fun and cute to watch in the pool. We might have a swimmer in the family! Julie and I also enjoyed the pool. It was great because there was something for each of us to do. It is a lot of fun with Elai, but Julie and I can't wait to go on a date to the center so we can enjoy it together. Also, I can't wait to go kayaking on the lake! We can't wait to go again!
