Lincoln Park District Aquatic Center Hosts Adult Swim Event

 

[August 14, 2023] 

The Lincoln Park District Aquatic Center hosted a new event on Thursday: an evening adult swim with trivia night and raffle. Admission was half price as were concessions.

The relaxed atmosphere gave swimmers a chance to unwind while awaiting the raffle drawing and the trivia competition.

At 7 p.m. Aquatic Center Manager, Jennifer Prather, drew the winners of the three raffle prizes.

The winner of the one year Circuit Membership to the Recreation Center was Kelly McCraith.

The winner of the 2023 Family Pool Pass was Judy Kolessar.

The winner of the 2024 Private Pool Party was Dawn Potter.

All proceeds from the raffles went to the Lincoln Park District Foundation, which provides funding for Lincoln’s Fourth of July fireworks, free swim lessons for low-income children, and other projects.

 

After the drawing, Spin Instructor and trivia aficionado Mark Graue emceed the evening’s trivia contest.

Six teams, including two teams made up of lifeguards and pool staff, answered four rounds of five questions each. Questions ranged from history to television to geography, and, of course, no phones or internet were allowed.

The Grand prize-winning team was Kelly McCraith and Stephanie Hall who each won a Champions Medal and certificate, a Lincoln Park District swag bag, and one month free Fitzone membership.

The second-place team of Dawn Potter and Judy Kolessar each won Lincoln Park District swag bags.

Prather hopes to grow this event and the many other opportunities at the Aquatic Center for families and individuals to stay active, connect with the community, and to have a fun time doing both.
