Kicking off 2014 with the Snohomish Aquatic Center

Here at Bailey Farm, our residents love our seasonal pool. But sometimes even during the winter, you might get that itch to take a dip. Fortunately, later this month you’ll be in luck, with the long-awaited opening of the Snohomish Aquatic center.

Its grand opening event will be January 25, and it will finally be open to the public on January 26. If you haven’t yet heard about the Snohomish Aquatic Center, it is a state of the art indoor swimming complex and community center, located at:

516 Maple Avenue
Snohomish, WA 98290

According to the Center’s website:

The Snohomish Aquatic Center is a 52,000 s.f. state-of-the-art facility. It includes a competitive pool with a dive area, a recreational pool area, a warm-water therapy area, spray play area, zero-entry area, surf-simulation machine (FlowRider®), lazy river, and a water slide (Splashtacular).

Other great amenities include locker rooms, private meeting/party spaces, and a family changing area.

In addition, the Snohomish Aquatic Center will feature a range of activities, classes, and more, including:

Splashtacular
This enclosed waterslide provides a fun, corkscrew ride starting inside the center, spiraling out of the building and back in, ending in the recreation pool. Our Splashtacular is 151-feet long and 20-feet high. Participants must be at least 42-inches tall and pass a swim test to slide.

Open Lap SwimLap swim is available in our recreational and competition pools and is recommended for guests 14 years of age and older. Walkers and exercisers may use the recreation pool during lap swim, but only in designated lanes or areas.

U.S. Master’s Swimming
U.S. Master’s Swimming is designed for guests 18 and over. Challenge yourself and improve your swimming skills. This coach-led program is open to all levels and abilities. It is great for those who want a challenging workout and for those who want tips to improve their stroke technique. Enjoy the opportunity to travel and compete in swim meets and competitions.

FlowRider®
This surf-simulation machine—the only of its kind in the area—crosses snowboarding, skateboarding and wakeboarding into an exciting ride with plenty of challenges and a whole lot of fun! Students must be 42-inches tall to ride the boogie boards and 52-inches tall to ride the stand-up boards.

Swim LessonsLearning to swim is more than just stroke development. Children are taught in small groups with others of their own age and skill level to facilitate the students’ socialization skills. Instructors use a child-centered approach which offers more active involvement and a better understanding of swimming, thus more learning and more fun.

Theme Nights
We offer special theme nights. Visit our website throughout the year for more information on these family fun activity nights.
