Life Jackets Available

For those who may not have strong swimming skills, who are nervous about swimming, or who are not quite tall enough to stand on the bottom of the pool, we encourage you to use one of our life jackets at no charge. We want everyone to enjoy their swimming experience at THPRD pools.

Life Jacket Loaner Program

Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District year-round pools have life jackets available to be loaned out for our guests. This is a free service in order to promote safety in and around our pools and natural water areas. If you need a life jacket, you can borrow one through our Life Jacket Loaner Program. Call the Tualatin Hills Aquatic Center to reserve one for your next water adventure. 503-629-6310.

"I'm a Safe Swimmer"

During National Water Safety Month, in May, we'll focus on reminding everyone of how to be safe in and around the water this summer. About 6,000 children in the THPRD Swim Academy program will take the "I'm a safe swimmer" pledge; each will receive a certificate and an "I'm a safe swimmer" wristband. As a reward for taking the pledge, any child with an "I'm a safe swimmer" wristband may will be admitted to a free open swim at any THPRD pool over Memorial Day Weekend.
