ARLINGTON ISD NATATORIUM
Arlington Aquatics started offering aquatics programming at Arlington ISDs Natatorium March 2020. Lap swim and water walking are available to Arlington Parks members or as an $8 day pass. Visitors wanting to purchase a day pass can do so with a card, no cash or checks will be accepted at the facility. Open swim will not be available at this location. Programming was originally set to start with the natatorium opening in September 2020, but was delayed due to COVID-19 budgetary impacts for the Parks & Recreation Department. Arlington Aquatics programming will take place in the warm up pool located within the natatorium. It is the 25-yard pool that is 4 ft in depth and consists of four lap lanes. No City programming will take place in the 50-meter competition pool. Visitors should note the pool temperature is set to 82 degrees, noticeably different than the East Indoor Pool. Arlington Aquatics’ members will enter through a separate entrance from Arlington ISD located off to the side. This entrance will open onto the pool deck where there will be a lifeguard to assist with check-in. Members will also have access to locker rooms separate from Arlington ISD with showers and bathrooms amenities available for use. In addition to lap swimming and water walking, residents will also be able to register for American Red Cross swimming lessons for children ages 4 to 12 years old as well as to adult beginners, private lessons, and water fitness classes.
