LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Encouraging the community to get out and get moving, the Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) is partnering with pools in the valley to offer five free events this summer.

SNHD’s Office of Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion announced the 2024 Move Your Way campaign on Wednesday. It has a simple goal — to get area residents to be more physically active.

You can enjoy healthy physical activities at these pools during the scheduled events:

  • Saturday, June 8, noon – 3 p.m. Pool party presented by North Las Vegas Councilman Isaac Barron Petitti Pool, 2505 N. Bruce St., North Las Vegas, NV 89030

  • Saturday, June 22, 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. Block party featuring Rad Tad Wells Park Outdoor Pool, 1650 Price St., Henderson, NV 89011

  • Saturday, July 6, noon – 3 p.m. Parks and Rec Month Celebration pool party Silver Mesa Recreation Pool, 4025 Allen Lane, North Las Vegas, NV 89032

  • Saturday, Aug. 10, noon – 3 p.m. Back to school pool party presented by North Las Vegas Councilman Scott Black and Clark County Commissioner Marilyn Kirkpatrick Silver Mesa Recreation Pool, 4025 Allen Lane, North Las Vegas, NV 89032

  • Saturday, Sept. 2, 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. Block party featuring Rad Tad Whitney Ranch Activity Pool, 1575 W. Galleria Dr., Henderson, NV 89014

The program began in May. For a complete schedule, visit https://gethealthyclarkcounty.org/get-moving/move-your-way/

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports a majority of adolescents and adults in Nevada do not meet physical activity guidelines. That can lead to health issues. Only about 26% of the state’s population reported participating in physical activities, according to the CDC.
