People for Leisure and Youth (PLAY) Inc. is giving families a chance to hit the pool for free on Aug. 24 from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Paul Nelson Aquatic Center.
The center has an Olympic-sized competition pool as well as a recreational pool with a fan-shaped, zero-depth entryway. Lifeguards are on duty during pool hours, but adults must accompany children under the age of 5 who are in the water.
Santa Maria Recreation and Parks made sure to point out that “bathing suits are required” in its 2014 Calendar of Events and Programs.
Want to swim? Paul Nelson Aquatic Center is located at 600 S. McClelland St.
