Mission

Scottsdale Aquatics Vision: "Everyone Learns to Swim".

Mission: Provide the highest quality of aquatic instructional and recreation services to Scottsdale residents and visitors in order to help achieve that vision.

Our facilities provide affordable, safe, diverse activities to meet community needs, with a focus on drowning prevention and water safety awareness.

The Aquatic Maintenance staff do everything they can to keep the pools clear and clean. You can protect yourself and others from Recreational Water Illness by reviewing recommendations by the CDC for healthy swimming.  

The Aquatic Centers conduct lifeguard and other safety drills. These drills are meant to simulate actual emergency situations and may occur during operating times. A red wrist band will be worn by the "person in distress" during these simulated drills. If you witness any such simulated emergency, please remain calm and follow the directions of the staff.
