An aquatics feasibility study is a comprehensive planning effort that helps the City understand community needs, evaluate existing facilities, assess future opportunities, and identify potential solutions before any decisions are made regarding new facilities or major investments.

The study will provide City leadership with the information needed to make informed, fiscally responsible decisions regarding the future of aquatic recreation in Yuma.

The study will examine a variety of topics, including:

• Current aquatic facilities and programs
• Community demand for aquatic amenities and services
• Recreational, instructional, fitness, and competitive aquatic opportunities
• National and regional aquatic trends
• Potential locations for future aquatic facilities
• The long-term viability of Kennedy Swimming Pool
• Capital and operating costs
• Potential funding and partnership opportunities
• Economic and community impacts

The success of this study depends on community participation.

In the coming months, residents, user groups, stakeholders, and community partners will have opportunities to share their thoughts through surveys, public meetings, workshops, focus groups, and other engagement activities.

We encourage everyone interested in the future of aquatics in Yuma to stay informed and participate when those opportunities become available.

Additional information, public engagement opportunities, project updates, and study materials will be posted here as they become available.

Thank you for your interest in helping shape the future of aquatics in Yuma.
