The Hurricane City pool is a family oriented facility that provides fun for all ages. No matter what your age is the Hurricane city pool will have something for you. The small town atmosphere carries into the pool. I have worked there for five years and have built lasting relationships with all my patrons. The Hurricane city pool helps parents get their kids active through many kid oriented activities. American Red Cross swim lessons are taught at the pool and help kids get an early start to swimming. If your child is on the competitive side the Hurricane city pool can satisfy that with the Tiger shark swim team. Tiger sharks are aggressive and travel all around southern Utah, Arizona, and Nevada to compete for the quest of glory. If your swimmer isn’t as competitive they also offer Jr. sharks, which is set at a slower pace. But the pool also offers activities for parents.

            Zumba, aqua zumba, aqua aerobics, and lap swim are very popular. Parents enjoy bringing the kids to swim and while they are having fun under the watchful eyes of lifeguards, they can get a workout swimming some laps. Many patrons after surgery come to aqua aerobics because it is easy on the joints and is premium rehab. The Hurricane city pool has something for everyone.

The Hurricane city pool has a deficit spending budget, therefore it loses more money than it makes. But the Hurricane city does not skimp on safety. Our lifeguards are tested every week with a CPR scenario, spinal scenario, and must swim four 500 meter swims eventually under ten minutes. Having top notch lifeguards can only get you so far, you also need equipment. The pool is equipped with an AED, two backboards, and all the first aid equipment you could ever need. There is one problem, the pool needs the blue safety tiles around the pool to be repainted. When a situation arises and we need the pool cleared we also need all the patrons to stay behind the blue tile so the lifeguards can do their work. The tiles were originally a vivid blue, but now they are an extremely light blue and can be hard to recognize. During pool break we ask all patrons to stand behind the blue tiles and I have personally had kids come up to me and ask where the blue tiles are, that’s how bad they need to be repainted. I would like the Mayor of the city of Hurricane to invest money to repaint the blue tiles, not only for aesthetic reasons but also for safety. As you can see the blue tile behind the lifeguard is hardly visible.
