26.09 Thank You For A Great Year!

The pool is now closed for the regular season. Thank you to every member, guest, sponsor, and donor that made this year possible.

We are trying to extend the season while the temps are still warm, the pool is still filled, and the aquatic center is still closed to give local swim teams and athletes a place to practice locally rather than driving to Santa Fe.

We are looking for 20 people to commit to $70/week sponsorships each week to stay open. Please help us fill this immediate gap in the community this season while the conditions avail themselves.

Your sponsorship gives you access to the pool for coached lap swim times. We are still confirming the schedule, but we are trying to get coaches to commit to some morning, day, and evening hours every day. Right now, we have 6-8am covered. Contact info@eastparkpool.org for more info.

Lost Almost Triathlon Was A Success!

Thank you to everyone who came out for the triathlon this weekend! We had 42 participants and more than half were first-time triathletes!

26.09 Labor Day Party, Season Extended Through Next Week

Greetings East Park Pool Members,

Join us today from 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM for food, music, and games and celebrate Labor Day with us.

We’ll be open through next Sunday, September 13. 6:00 – 8:00 AM and 4:00 – 7:00 PM Tuesday through Friday. 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday, but we’re hosting the Lost Almost Triathlon on Sunday until 2:00 PM, so we ask that you keep the swim lanes clear for racers. You can still register to race or volunteer, though! We also have one more Splash & Dash this week.

Don’t forget to fill out the member survey and join us for the Oct 14 annual meeting. It’s really important to the future of East Park Pool that you do this!

Also, come pick up your stuff from our lost & found. Anything left after September 13 will be donated.

26.08 Morning Lap Swim Extended To 8:00 AM

If I have to wake up early anyway, y’all might as well get as much use out of the pool as you can. Weekday morning lap swim will be extended 6:00 – 8:00 AM.

There has been some interest in extending the season through September. If that’s you, please fill out this survey.

Lost Almost Triathlon Sep 13

We are hosting the Lost Almost Triathlon on September 13. This is a community friendly event so we encourage everyone to participate even if you’re not a today triathlete. We especially want to encourage adaptive athletes as the course is a paved trail. You can choose from our We have preset courses or you can build your own course, such as a family relay. However you choose to participate, volunteers will be there to support your race. We really just want to showcase the impact East Park Pool has on the community and try to stay open another year. If you know any local businesses that would like to sponsor this event or the 2027 pool season, please have them contact us at info@eastparkpool.org.

Wednesday Evening Public Events

Join us Wednesday evenings 7-9pm alternating between Splash & Dash and volleyball. These events are $5/person and open to the public.

26.07 Schedule After School Starts, Interpool Swim Meet

Greetings East Park Pool Members and Friends,

The board has received a lot of feedback about the weekend-only schedule after school starts so we’ve added weekday mornings 6-7a and afternoons 4-7p back to the schedule. This is dependent on guard availability and we will announce availability-related closures at least a day in advance through the website, mailing list, and social media.

Wednesday Evening Splash & Dash and Volleyball

We’re hosting public Splash & Dash and volleyball events on Wednesday evenings starting at 7pm through the rest of the season. These events are $5/person.

Even if you don’t want to participate in the activities, it’s a great place to hang out, listen to music, grill some dinner, and enjoy our beautiful evenings by the water.
