Pinedale Aquatic Center Grand Opening
by Clint Gilchrist, Pinedale Online!
February 7, 2008
The Pinedale Aquatic Center held their Grand Opening on Thursday, February 7th. The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony was at 2:00 PM, with a good crowd attending (which was remarkable considering we were having a rip roaring Wyoming winter storm with blowing snow, limited visibility, road closures and warnings of No Unnecessary Travel postings by the Wyoming Department of Transportation.)
The Center offers two huge pools: a Competition Lap Pool with a diving board and a Leisure Pool complete with a three-story slide, spraying submarine, tumble-buckets and a current channel.
PAC also offers a 32-foot climbing wall, a fitness area with the latest cardio equipment, two racquetball courts, a 1/12 mile indoor walking track, a multi-purpose gymnasium, three outdoor tennis courts, a party room, instructor’s classroom and a child care area.
In addition, the following programs are being offered:
Water Exercise, by Ann Stowe
Water Exercise, by JJ Huntley
Arthritis Foundation Aquatic Exercise Program
Karate, by Karen Rogers
USA Youth Wrestling
USA Swim Club
Aquatic Tai Chi, by Karen Rogers
Stretch Aerobics

Monday through Friday: 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM
Saturday: 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM
Sunday: 12:00 Noon to 6:00 PM.
