A fiesta theme with decorations, music, photo
opportunities, and games like jumping beans, find the sombrero, and
piñata grab kept kids entertained.
Head lifeguards Alyssa Company, Jett
Winebrinner
and Abbie Arnold
Pool Manager Elizabeth Parrott said, “The lifeguards
are having fun playing with the kids. We are glad to have the
community come out and we are glad to see smiling faces. Guards
enjoy these days because they have more time with the children.
Families enjoy it. They enjoy watching their kids interact with the
guards. The guards are good people to look up to based on feedback
from the community.”
Third-year lifeguard Mattea McFadden came up with the games for the
Fiesta Family Fun Day. She keeps coming back to guard at the LPD
Aquatic Center because she enjoys “seeing the community, and the
community of guards is super tight and close. It’s fun to bond over
the summer and be a positive influence on the community.”

McFadden adds, “PSA for next
year! We will have three new themes for fun days for next year
chosen by the lifeguards! Watch for the announcement!”
Admission for Fiesta Family Fun Day was a
nonperishable item for the Lincoln-Logan Food Pantry giving families
a lower cost admission, as well as the opportunity to support others
in the community. Regular pool admission and pool passes are also
accepted on Family Fun Days.
New Aquatic Center hours began August 12, 2024. Adult Lap Swim
continues from 10:30 a.m.-12 noon daily and the Toddler pool will be
open at these times on Saturday and Sunday only. Public swimming
will be on Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 5:45 p.m with Family
Night swims on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The last day the LPD pool will be open this summer is Labor Day,
September 2.
