New Manatee public pool — with water slides —changes schedule to allow more guests
Lincoln Aquatic Center is expanding swim sessions to allow more daily guests into the new swim-and-splash park.
The Manatee County Parks and Natural Resources leaders decided on May 30 that instead of having one swim session each afternoon, the center will have two afternoon sessions.
In between sessions, staff will close and clear the pool.
Session 1 - will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Session 2 - will be held from 2 to 4 p.m.
Entry into the aquatic center is free for all guests until Aug. 6. Children under 15 years old must have a parent or guardian with them to enter.
Below is additional information Lincoln Aquatic Center guests should know that can be found on the Lincoln Aquatic Center website.
