The Rose Bowl Aquatics Center will hold its first-ever “Pool Together Fest” at the aquatics center in Brookside Park from 4 p.m. – 8 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 14. The event will include a Guinness World Record attempt for the largest aqua-aerobics class with a live DJ set from DJ Lady C. The festivities will kick off the annual campaign “Let’s Pool Together,” and feature a Pumpkin Splash Patch sponsored by Trader Joe’s, Kid Zone, RBAC competitive team activities, photo and information booths, and for adults, a beer and wine garden.
“The RBAC is truly more than a pool, we want everyone to come and ‘Pool Together’ as we celebrate the return of everything that the aquatic center means to our great community,” said Jimmy Francis, executive director of the RBAC. “We are hoping that people will sign up to be a part of our Guinness World Record-breaking attempt. The Pumpkin Splash Patch is also a first for us.”
Attendees will experience a showcase from RBAC’s exceptional dive team with their expert performances from the springboard platforms. The aquatic teams’ lively mixed relays will race through the lanes of the competition pool for bragging rights. Water polo will be participating in an RBAC Coaches vs. Athletes scrimmage.
Admission is free for the event, although the aqua aerobics class has a suggested donation for participation with proceeds going to the RBAC “Let’s Pool Together” 2022 annual campaign. The beer and wine garden and food trucks will have charges and tickets may be purchased on site.
