Lifeguards still needed!
The city of Las Vegas will open the Carlos L. Martinez & Darrio J. Hall Family Pool at Gary Reese Freedom Park for the summer season Memorial Day weekend, May 25-27, from noon to 4 p.m. each day. Garside Pool also will be open Memorial Day from noon to 4 p.m. They join the already open Municipal and Pavilion Center pools, which have enclosures that allow the city to keep them open year-round. All pools are closed June 1 for staff training. Remaining seasonal pools will open for the summer June 3. See specific pool hours and locations below.
The city is still looking to hire qualified lifeguards through mid-summer. Those interested in working as a lifeguard may apply online. Registration for lifeguard certification training in May-June is available here. Those intending to work as a city lifeguard should apply for training in person at Municipal Pool in order to get the course discounted to free. The availability of lifeguards will impact pool hours.
The public is invited to enjoy swim lessons, competitive aquatics teams for youth, dive-in movies, fitness events and themed pool parties at selected pools. Pools may close occasionally for private special events, training or facility maintenance/repair.
One-month and three-month pool passes are on sale now for city of Las Vegas pools. Three-month passes are priced at $70 for all ages; one-month passes cost $30. Passes are valid at all six city of Las Vegas pools. Pool passes currently are for sale at Municipal Pool, Pavilion Center Pool and all city recreation centers, and will be sold at seasonal pools when they open.
