East Park Pool

26.09 Thank You For A Great Year!

The pool is now closed for the regular season. Thank you to every member, guest, sponsor, and donor that made this year possible.

We are trying to extend the season while the temps are still warm, the pool is still filled, and the aquatic center is still closed to give local swim teams and athletes a place to practice locally rather than driving to Santa Fe.

Get Your Extended Season Passes Here

We are looking for 20 people to commit to $70/week sponsorships each week to stay open. Please help us fill this immediate gap in the community this season while the conditions avail themselves.

Your sponsorship gives you access to the pool for coached lap swim times. We are still confirming the schedule, but we are trying to get coaches to commit to some morning, day, and evening hours every day. Right now, we have 6-8am covered. Contact info@eastparkpool.org for more info.

Lost Almost Triathlon Was A Success!

Thank you to everyone who came out for the triathlon this weekend! We had 42 participants and more than half were first-time triathletes!

Last Call: Lost Almost Triathlon This Sunday!

We’re just days away from East Park Pool’s first annual Lost Almost Triathlon, and we need YOU to help make it happen!

🏊 Swim • Bike • Run
📅 Sunday, September 13
⏰ Race starts at 10 a.m.

Still thinking about racing?

There’s still time to sign up! Whether you’re an experienced triathlete or just want to try something new, we’d love to have you join us. We currently have about 25 participants registered, so this is shaping up to be a small, friendly, community-centered race.

We URGENTLY Need Volunteers!

We are way short on volunteers, and we need your help to make the race safe and smooth. We need people to help with timing, course crossings, directing racers, aid stations, and other race-day jobs. No special experience is needed—just a willingness to lend a hand!

If you can give us even a couple of hours Sunday morning, please sign up. Grab a friend or family member and make a morning of it!

VOLUNTEER →

And Then…Pool Party!

After the race, everyone is invited to a pool party from 2–6 p.m.! Racers, volunteers, families, and pool members are all welcome. Come swim, relax, and celebrate the end of the season with us.

Help Us Finish Strong

This fundraiser is especially meaningful for East Park Pool. We NEED to raise funds to keep the pool operating. This is our closing weekend, and we’d love to fill it with the people who make this pool such a special part of our community.

Thank you to everyone who has signed up, volunteered, donated, or simply shown up for the pool this year. We hope you’ll join us this Sunday—whether you’re racing, volunteering, cheering, or staying for the pool party.

**We need racers. We need volunteers. We can’t wait to see you there. **

26.09 Labor Day Party, Season Extended Through Next Week

Greetings East Park Pool Members,

Join us today from 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM for food, music, and games and celebrate Labor Day with us.

We’ll be open through next Sunday, September 13. 6:00 – 8:00 AM and 4:00 – 7:00 PM Tuesday through Friday. 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday, but we’re hosting the Lost Almost Triathlon on Sunday until 2:00 PM, so we ask that you keep the swim lanes clear for racers. You can still register to race or volunteer, though! We also have one more Splash & Dash this week.

Don’t forget to fill out the member survey and join us for the Oct 14 annual meeting. It’s really important to the future of East Park Pool that you do this!

Also, come pick up your stuff from our lost & found. Anything left after September 13 will be donated.

26.08 Lost Almost Triathlon – Three Weeks Out

We’re just three weeks away from the Lost Almost Triathlon on September 13, 2026!

Please help us spread the word to register online at eastparkpool.org/triathlon. We just noticed this morning that the signup links were broken so let people know it’s fixed. This triathlon is meant to be for everyone, not just seriousathletes, so please share with your friends, family, coworkers, clubs, and anyone else who might be interested in racing, volunteering, or sponsoring. Also don’t forget to invite your friends outside Los Alamos. This is one of the most scenic and accessible triathlon courses in New Mexico, and East Park Pool could really use all the support it can get to open next summer.

Volunteers Needed

We especially need volunteers with EMT, medical, first-aid, or other similar training. If you know somebody with relevant experience and would be willing to help with race-day medical coverage, please have them register as a volunteer or contact us at info@eastparkpool.org. We also need volunteers for course marshaling, timing, check-in, transition areas, and aid stations.

Packet Pickup

Race packets will be available at East Park Pool on Saturday, September 12, or at Los Alamos Cooperative Market on Sunday morning before the race. We encourage Saturday pickup to make things easier on race day, though.

Race-Day Parking

We recommend parking at the Los Alamos Cooperative Market next to the race start. They serve some tasty breakfast burritos and other items so we also recommend fueling up with our community grocer.

Course Information

The courses are out-and-back on Canyon Rim Trail so please stay to the right and watch for oncoming traffic. To spread folks out, we’ll stagger start times based on experience and preference indicated in registration. It’s pretty exposed, which means the view is great, but also there’s not much shade, so sun protection is recommended. The transition area is at East Park Pool. You should drop off gear there before heading to the start.

We’ll send an email with further details one week before race day. We’ll also have an online Q&A session to answer any lingering questions, but feel free to email us sooner if you have questions now.

Thank you to everyone who has already registered to participate, volunteer, sponsor, or just helped us get the word out. We really depend on the community to make this happen, and the funds raised will help give East Park Pool another summer in 2027.

26.07 Schedule After School Starts, Interpool Swim Meet

Greetings East Park Pool Members and Friends,

The board has received a lot of feedback about the weekend-only schedule after school starts so we’ve added weekday mornings 6-7a and afternoons 4-7p back to the schedule. This is dependent on guard availability and we will announce availability-related closures at least a day in advance through the website, mailing list, and social media.

We’re hosting public Splash & Dash and volleyball events on Wednesday evenings starting at 7pm through the rest of the season. These events are $5/person.

Even if you don’t want to participate in the activities, it’s a great place to hang out, listen to music, grill some dinner, and enjoy our beautiful evenings by the water.
