Aquatics
COB PARD Pools and Aquatic programming may operate on a modified schedule this summer due to a national staff/lifeguard shortage.
The City of Brownsville Aquatics Division provides affordable aquatics programs and amenities to swimmers of all ages and abilities. Brownsville aquatic facilities are safe and improve quality of life to all who use them. Brownsville Aquatics Division’s goal is to help introduce water safety concepts, encourage healthy recreational habits that every member of the community can enjoy.
Brownsville Aquatics strives to provide the City of Brownsville with a one-of-a-kind swimming experience while providing the safest and cleanest environment possible.
Each swimming facility offers the public a chance to get active and escape the summer heat. Swimming lessons, Water Aerobics, and Lap Swimming are also offered.
Our residents are ensured that our swimming instructors offer experienced guidance and a fun atmosphere for our students. Our lessons are designed to make learning fun throughout the duration of courses starting with infants of 16 months and up to adulthood.
The Aquatics Division maintains and staffs the Sams Pool at Dean Porter Park and Gonzalez Pool at Antonio Gonzalez Park.
