Gabriel Montero leaps from the edge of the pool while playing July 7, 2020, at the Hermiston Family Aquatic Center. Hermiston Parks and Recreation Department Director Brandon Artz said the pool relies on 80 lifeguards during its season, but had only half that number in late May 2024.

HERMISTON — Kickoff weekend for the Hermiston Family Aquatic Center was pushed back a week because of inclement weather.

However, everyone is ready to dive in this weekend for a splashing good time. Open swim time is Saturday, June 18, 1:10-6:45 p.m. at the pool, 879 W. Elm St.

The daily admission fees are: infants, free; children, $5; youths, $6; adults, $7; and seniors, $6. In addition, season passes are available for purchase. Also, cabanas, picnic shelters, semi-private and full facility rentals can be booked online at bit.ly/hermistonrecreation.
