A Water Wonderland for All Ages

Imagine a place where kids can revel in the joys of water play, even when the weather outside is not cooperating. The Worthington Community Center’s Open Swim is that place! Boasting a zero-entry water playground, navigating the aquatic world is a breeze. Even if you’re flying solo with the little ones, the layout is manageable and stress-free. The front area features a fun kids play area complete with small water fountains, providing a great spot for the little adventurers to kickstart their water-filled escapades. The play structure itself adds an extra layer of excitement with a slide and other engaging features.

Safety First with Attentive Lifeguards

One of the most reassuring aspects of the Open Swim is the presence of attentive lifeguards. These water-safety superheroes keep a watchful eye on all water activities, ensuring everyone’s safety and peace of mind. You can focus on having a blast with your family, knowing that these lifeguards are there to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all.


The Worthington Community Center offers life jackets for everyone to use, available on a first-come, first-served basis. You’re also welcome to bring your own life jacket, but please keep in mind that it must be approved by the U.S. Coast Guard. If someone is wearing a life jacket, an adult must be in the water with them, close enough to reach out.


A Splash of Variety

Dive into excitement as you explore different areas of the pool. Venture over to the section with a depth of around 3 feet, which leads to a delightful lazy river. Inside this aquatic marvel are two bonus pools: one with swirling currents and another with comfy bubble seats, both equally adored by kids. It’s a splashy adventure that’s sure to bring smiles all around! That’s not all! For guests over 48inches, they have a fun slide.
