\"\"<\/span>T<\/span><\/strong>he Monona Aquatic Center was built in 2007 with funds donated by the late LeRoy and Colleen Darby family and private donations from families of our community. <\/strong>The Center provides a local venue for swimming lessons, opportunities for adult lap swimming, a facility for the swim team to practice and hold meets, and a fun and safe area for groups to host swimming pool parties. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Fun for Everyone<\/span><\/h3>\n

It is a zero- depth pool located <\/span>at 100 Bulldog Boulevard, in Monona, IA- on the southwest edge of Monona near the water tower and <\/span>Butterfly Garden Trail<\/span><\/a>.  The shallow end of the pool has a small Bulldog slide, geysers, and a mushroom waterfall. It has lanes for lap swimming and swim meets. It has two slides – a racing slide and a twisting slide and a diving board in the deeper water.<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Outside of the pool is plenty of space for lounging on the many chairs as well as a sand area for volleyball and playing.  There are 4 giant umbrellas for those who prefer shade on hot days.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n
