Age Policies • Water Walking

The New Holland Rec Center offers a unique state of the art aquatic facility. The 116,000 gallon pool stays at a constant 83 degrees year around, which goes great with the comfortable 85 degree air temperature. It's divided into two free flowing parts, a Leisure pool and Lap pool. The Leisure pool offers a zero depth entry point and gradually decreases to a depth of 3ft. 6in. It is equipped with a water slide that pumps 800 gallons per minute, a water mushroom which has 100-300 gallons of water run through it every minute, bubble jets, and under water benches that are a great way to watch the kids while chatting with friends.

The 4 lane twenty five yard lap pool is designed for multiple purposes with a maximum depth of 5 ft. Swimming 36 laps (or 72 lengths) is the equivalent of swimming one mile. Not only is it available for the swim enthusiasts but was also built with the capabilities to have a water volleyball court and i nner tube water polo games on event nights.
