Pahrump Community Pool cuts hours, ends water aerobics August 4
Water-aerobics users lose their last class Aug. 4 as the Pahrump Community Pool shifts hours Aug. 5 and ends the season Aug. 16. Lap swimmers and families have a short window left.
The Pahrump Community Pool will switch to new hours on Wednesday, Aug. 5, and water aerobics will end a day earlier, on Tuesday, Aug. 4, leaving regular users just under two weeks to squeeze in their final swims before the 2026 season closes Sunday, Aug. 16. That change affects lap swimmers, families, and residents who use the pool for low-impact exercise in the middle of a hot Nye County summer.
The Town of Pahrump says the pool is a 6-lane, 25-yard outdoor facility inside Petrack Park at 150 N Highway 160 in Pahrump. Swim lesson sign-ups are already closed, so the remaining schedule now centers on open swim time and the last stretch of water aerobics before the season winds down.
The town has already adjusted pool operations once this summer. Beginning Monday, June 16, weekday hours shifted to make room for summer swim lessons, which were scheduled in three sessions: June 15-26, June 29-July 10 and July 13-24. Lesson blocks were offered at 10:15 to 10:45 a.m., 11 to 11:30 a.m. and 6:15 to 6:45 p.m., with classes for children ages 3 and up and a Mommy and Me program for ages 2 and under.
That layered schedule reflects how seasonal pool service works in Pahrump, where one public amenity has to serve as a recreation site, an exercise space and a family destination. The pool opened over Memorial Day weekend with a soft opening from noon to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, then moved into a summer pattern shaped by lessons and staffing needs.
Staffing has been part of the picture all season. The town posted 2026 hiring notices for lifeguards and cashiers, with applications due April 1. Lifeguard applicants had to be at least 15 by that date and able to obtain lifeguard certification and First Aid/CPR, underscoring how much the pool depends on seasonal workers to stay open.
For residents who use the pool to stay active without traveling out of town, the August cutoff is the last clear chance to use a limited public resource before it shuts down for the year. The final days now matter most for swimmers, parents and the water aerobics group that has anchored part of the pool’s summer routine.
