KINGSPORT TENNESSEE

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