Lifeguards Still Needed
The city of Las Vegas will open two outdoor pools for the summer season Memorial Day weekend. They join the already-open Municipal and Pavilion Center pools, which have enclosures that allow the city to keep them open year-round.
The city is still looking to hire qualified lifeguards through mid-summer. Those interested in working as a lifeguard may apply online. Registration for lifeguard certification training is available here. The availability of lifeguards will impact pool hours.
The public is invited to enjoy swim lessons, competitive aquatics teams for youth, dive-in movies, fitness events and themed pool parties at selected pools. All pools will be closed June 4 for staff training. Pools may close occasionally for private special events, training or facility maintenance/repair.
All-summer pool passes are on sale now for lap and open swim periods at city of Las Vegas pools. Passes are priced at $40 for a child ages 4-17, $75 for adults ages 18-49, and $40 for seniors ages 50+. The passes are good Memorial Day through Labor Day 2022 only. Pool passes are currently for sale at Municipal Pool and Pavilion Center Pool, and will be sold at seasonal pools when they open.
Daily pool fees for individuals at city pools are:
- Ages 3 and younger – free
