LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – Summer season is here, and with temperatures climbing, many families are looking for a place to cool off. While the City of Lubbock doesn’t operate any public pools, there are still several swimming options to have fun in the sun.
YWCA at Sun ‘n Fun
One of these options is the YWCA Sun ‘n Fun Center. They offer individual and family memberships as well as daily rates.
Callie Bryant with YWCA said it has something for all ages.
“We have a bunch of different areas for kids, infants all the way up to teenagers, so whether they want to play on our splash pad, go down our slide, jump in the pool, or just lounge around and get the rays, we have them here at the sun n fun,” Bryant said.
Seahorse Swimming School
Gavin Fendon is a manager at the Seahorse Swimming School. With individual and family memberships available for the summer, he said frequent visits can make the expense a worthwhile summer investment.
“I have families that come here every day, if you don’t come very often, I can understand it being kind of a big price to jump in, but pools around are expensive, it’s tough to keep this palace open,” Fendon said. “You get the membership, you come every day, you tire your kids out, have fun, eat snacks, go home.”
Creating memories one summer at a time
As another West Texas summer gets underway, local pools hope to provide the same memories for today’s families that so many people grew up making themselves.
“When I was a kid it was my hangout spot, and I can’t tell you how much fun I had with my friends jumping in the pool, playing mermaids, seeing who can get the diving stick first, you know just that wholesome family fun,” Bryant said.
