The Earlywine Family Aquatic Center at SW 119 & May integrates a beach-like pool entry with the excitement of high-energy water toys, swimming lanes and twelve gently bubbling geysers.
Some of the larger features include two towering plunge slides, tumble buckets that randomly spatter water on swimmers from more than 15 feet in the air, a large mushroom water curtain, a giant floating green turtle and two interactive spray fountains.
Need a break from the water? Play in the sandbox, compete in a game of volleyball or order food from the full-service concession stand.
The concession stand sells everything from steamy, soft pretzels and pepperoni pizza to The Big Bopper (vanilla ice cream between two huge chocolate chip cookies) and strawberry shortcake ice cream.
The pool employs 15 lifeguards, eight of which can be found on duty at any given time. The pool can hold up to 500 swimmers. Although the daily attendance averages around 450 people, there are times when demand exceeds the bathing load and children have to wait for others to leave before they are allowed in.
