Aquatic coordinator: pool 'bubble' installed Sept. 30 with projected Oct. 13 reopening, staffing in progress
Summary
Aquatic coordinator Sierra Beggs said the pool 'bubble' is scheduled to go up Sept. 30 with a tentative reopening of Oct. 13, contingent on mechanical-room work; three new lifeguards started and three more are expected to complete HR orientation next week.
Sierra Beggs, Boulder City’s aquatic coordinator, told the Recreation Commission on Sept. 22 that the inflatable pool enclosure (the “bubble”) is scheduled to be installed Sept. 30 and the facility has a projected reopening date of Oct. 13, though mechanical-room work could extend that timeline.
Beggs said three new lifeguards began work that day and an additional three are expected to finish human-resources orientation in the coming week and join staff in time for the bubble installation. Adaptive swim lessons continue through the winter with six children currently enrolled; regular lessons will resume in November because there will be no lessons in October while the bubble is up.
Why it matters: The pool reopening affects swim lessons, adaptive programs and public lap swim availability; lifeguard staffing and mechanical-room readiness are the two primary dependencies on the announced timeline.
Beggs invited questions and said staff would keep the commission informed if mechanical repairs change the reopening date.
