Recreation Swim At Splash Montana In Missoula City Resumes From June 22

Press release from the City of Missoula:

June 19, 2020

Recreation Swim (open swim) at Splash Montana and Currents Aquatics Center will resume Monday, June 22, in 90-minute sessions of 50 people or less, by reservation only. At Splash Montana, Recreation Swim includes The Pond (shallow pool), Lazy River, and waterslides. The smaller group size means kids and families will have plenty of room to splash and play in facilities that are cleaned and sanitized several times a day.

Session times and reservation information

• Lap swim and Aquacize opened at Splash Montana on June 10. Limited lap swim and Aquacize resumes at Currents Aquatics Center on June 22.
• Lap lanes at Splash Montana will remain at 25 yards, to allow us to accommodate more swimmers in the 50-meter pool.
• Swim lessons will resume June 22 at Currents Aquatics Center, July 6 at Splash Montana. Parks will contact preregistered swim lesson participants with updates. Lesson schedules and more information will be posted here by June 20.
• Parks and Recreation offers program grants to families who need financial assistance for pool admission, swim lessons and recreation programs, call 721-PARK for more information.
• To facilitate physical distancing, locker room use will be limited. Patrons should arrive at the facility ready to swim and should plan to shower at home.

Supporting information:

The Governor’s Directive establishing conditions for Phase Two, and the County Health Officer’s May 28 reopening requirements order state that:

• Groups larger than 50 people should be canceled unless physical distancing can be maintained
• Events may use static groups of 50 people or fewer who do not intermingle with other static groups of 50 people to manage physical distancing within an event.
