Price City’s Desert Wave Pool is thrilled to be hosting their annual free swim days geared around this year’s theme Beach Party for the International Days celebration. This will be held from 12:00 pm to 8:00 pm on Thursday, July 27 and Friday, July 28, in addition to the indoor pool made available from 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm. Tube rental for the day will be $2.00, when tube is returned a $1.00 reimbursement will be given.
At one time during the International Days celebration the free swim event was only offered for one day. However, Tamara Gray, Aquatics Director felt that was not beneficial to the public, “We had in the past, a lot of times people would come on Friday and say, is it free swim day, well no it was yesterday, so the last couple of years we said, hey let’s do it Thursday and Friday.” Most of the planned activities will begin at 1:00 pm to allow folks a chance to get there on time run till approximately 6:00 pm so that they may attend other International Days evening activities.
Pinnacle HVAC has made it possible for community members to enjoy free swim on Thursday, as well as provided the prizes for all the competitions. “We do our annual swim suit contest for all ages, we divide up in to age group, go by the cheers of the crowd to see who their favorite is and we give out prizes. New this year we are going to set up a little selfie booth, so we have props to go along our beach party theme and they can bring their little phones and take selfies with some props, its will be fun,” stated Gray. The annual belly flop and cannonball competition will also be held during the afternoon.
The Boys and Girls Club will be sponsoring free swim on Friday, they have planned some surprise activities and contests for guests to enjoy, plus some great beach tunes to listen to.
“We have the concession stand, you know the food is really inexpensive treats – pretzels, pizzas, churros, corn dogs. We will have a full concession area open both those days as well,” said Gray. Also available is their specialty of friend green beans, deep fried pickles and ice cold beverages to wash it all down with.
Free admission for both days gives visitors the opportunity to enjoy the pool as well as activities in the park. To see more about International Days, visit their website at www.pricecityutah.com
