In celebration of the Independence Day holiday, Clark County is offering free swimming at outdoor pools and water parks that will be open on Sunday, July 4.
 
“We wish all our citizens a happy and safe Fourth of July and are glad to offer a free swim day at our pools in honor of the holiday,” said Clark County Commission Chair Marilyn Kirkpatrick. “We encourage families to come out and enjoy our wonderful pools and outdoor waterparks, but also like to remind parents to designate an adult to serve as a water watcher any time children are around pools, lakes, or any body of water.”
 
The list of County pools and water parks that will be open on July 4 is as follows:
 
•           Desert Breeze Water Park, 8275 W. Spring Mountain Road, (702) 455-7798, 12- 5 p.m.
•           Paradise Water Park, 4775 McLeod Drive, (702) 455-8541, 12-5 p.m.
•           Walnut Water Park, 3075 Walnut Road, (702) 455-8422, 12-5 p.m.

•           Laughlin Aquatic Center, 3790 S. James Bilbray Pkwy., (702) 299-9955, 11 a.m.-3:30 p.m.
 
Clark County's Department of Parks and Recreation operates pools and community centers throughout the County. County water parks include twisting slides, gushing fountains, play areas, and shallow pools for young swimmers. Pool rules include proper swim attire required; children aged 8 and under must be accompanied by an adult; only Coast Guard-approved flotation devices allowed; no alcohol or glass containers allowed; and facility occupancy limits are enforced.
 
Clark County is a partner in the Southern Nevada Child Drowning Prevention Coalition’s annual drowning prevention campaign. Information is available on the Southern Nevada Health District’s website at:
www.GetHealthyClarkCounty.org. The following three steps are recommended to prevent drownings: Patrol by designating adults as water watchers; protect by installing barriers like fencing between your home and pools and spas; and prepare by enrolling children in swimming lessons and creating a water safety plan for your family if an emergency happens.
