April 2, 2012
Clarksville, TN – The Indoor Aquatic Center played host to what is sure to become one of the most popular Easter events in Clarksville, The Wettest Egg Hunts. On Saturday, March 31st, thousands of brightly colored eggs were put into the swimming and wading pools, to await the hundreds of children who would plunge in to seek out a variety of prizes. Many of the eggs floated, but some were weighted causing them to sink to the bottom of the pool.
The event was made possible by the generous support of Sango Pool and Spa, and the Clarksville branch of the YMCA. “We couldn’t have done this event without them,” said Matthew Dixon the Special Events Coordinator for the City of Clarksville Department of Parks and Recreation. Other area businesses provided prizes which were printed on laminated slips of paper that were inside some of the eggs.

Pooch Pool Party was a wonderful event for pets and their owners
August 15, 2011
Clarksville, TN – The City of Clarksville held their first Pooch Pool Party this weekend at the Swan Lake Swimming Pool. Around 60 pets participated in this ground breaking event for the City of Clarksville. One reason that Swan Lake pool was chosen was due to the fact that the kids wading pool is the only zero-entry swimming pool in our area. Both of the pools at the facility were open to the pets. Special ramps were attached to the hand rails to allow easy entry and exit from the main pool.
In addition to the swimming, there were several games held including a big splash contest. Liz McGraw’s Malti-poo (Maltese and Poodle mix) McKenzie won the contest for animals for 30 pounds and under. Door prizes from the various sponsors were also given away.
