Kingsport Aquatic Center<br />
Best Events of the Year<br />
Drool Party<br />
Our furry friends love to splash<br />
too! This end of season annual<br />
event hosted over 90 dogs and 35<br />
handlers. It was a tail wagging time<br />
as dogs of big and small enjoyed<br />
the outdoor play feature pool while<br />
chasing toys and each other. This<br />
annual event has become a favorite<br />
of the Kingsport community as dog<br />
enthusiasts have an opportunity to<br />
enjoy the Aquatic Center with their<br />
best friends on this special day.<br />
Pumpkin Plunge<br />
Halloween fun Aquatics Style:<br />
We called all superheroes and 95<br />
attended our themed event which<br />
gave participants an opportunity<br />
to swim for a pumpkin to decorate<br />
and save the day. Participants<br />
enjoyed various games, swimming,<br />
and treats throughout the evening.<br />
Toddler Time<br />
Toddler time was a perfect<br />
opportunity for tots age 5 and under<br />
to rule the pool. Each Tuesday and<br />
Thursday morning in August and<br />
September toddlers had a perfect<br />
opportunity to enjoy our outdoor<br />
water park without the big kids. It<br />
also gave parents and caregivers<br />
an opportunity to interact and<br />
socialize. Over 200 toddlers and<br />
their guests enjoyed the great<br />
weather and fun times.<br />
On July 1, 2016, the Kingsport Aquatic Center and<br />
the YMCA celebrated the first official day of a smoke<br />
and e-cig free campus.<br />
A bill passed that allows local government entities to<br />
prohibit smoking by local ordinance on the grounds<br />
of any public-owned or operated swimming pools.<br />
L to R: Jeff Fleming, Noah Rutherford, Charlotte Reasor and Mayor Clark<br />
Noah noticed an unresponsive boy in the water. He<br />
jumped in and pulled out the boy and immediately<br />
started performing CPR, with fellow lifeguard Charlotte.<br />
Their extensive training and quick actions led to a life<br />
saved at the Aquatic Center.<br />
