Summer is right around the corner! Let's talk Swim Lessons

How to keep our kids safe in the water.

By Gayle Helton- Henderson & Boulder City Macaroni Kid Publisher February 15, 2023

So this may not be the best week to start talking about summer. It actually SNOWED yesterday! Yes, snow in the hottest place in the country. We were all here to see the Blizzard of 2023.  Truth be told, Cowabunga Bay had already set an opening date. ( Check out our COWABUNGA Article next week!)

Let's get the kids ready for Spring Break and beyond!  


Boulder City 

Parks and Recreation

If you are a Boulder City resident, you are all set for swimming. The amazing folks you elected to City Council have not disappointed and have approved a measure to provide funding so that kids can swim during open swim FREE OF CHARGE through December 2024! 

Thanks to SNICC, Copper Mountain Solar, and SDGE, we are proud to offer a Learn-to-Swim Grant to children 4yrs old or younger. If your child is enrolled in Parent-Child or Preschool and is a Boulder City resident, they are eligible to receive the grant.

Ages 6mo and up

Fees: $30-$36
