Good morning, Pocatello.

Pocatello will open the refurbished Ross Park Aquatic Complex on May 24 with safety upgrades like replaced deck drains and a new lazy river bridge — the main building and kiddie pool play structure will also get a fresh look, with any remaining work finished on nights and weekends. City officials plan to ensure the facility is updated before the summer season begins.

Paige Armstrong and Kari Welch run Jackson Creek Swim at 1005 East Jackson Creek Road in Inkom, where they have taught children as young as 2 to swim and stay safe for eight years—offering two-week sessions with one-on-one practice and private party rentals.
