🏆 Mount Rainier Pool District Recognized for Risk Management & Community Safety!

We’re proud to share that the Des Moines Pool Metropolitan Park District has received the Risk Management Achievement Award from the Association of Washington Cities Risk Management Service Agency (AWC RMSA).

The District was recognized at the RMSA Annual Meeting in Chelan for our commitment to proactive risk management, improving community safety, reducing potential risks, and helping control insurance costs.

For us, risk management is about much more than insurance or reducing claims. It means creating a safer environment for our employees and swimmers, protecting public resources, maintaining our facility responsibly, and helping ensure Mount Rainier Pool can continue serving our community.

As a public agency, we take seriously our responsibility to protect the resources entrusted to us. Preventing accidents and reducing losses also benefits the larger RMSA insurance pool, helping keep coverage sustainable and affordable for local governments throughout Washington.

AWC RMSA provides property and liability protection to 116 Washington cities, towns, and special purpose districts, while working with its members to prevent losses, strengthen resiliency, and protect essential community services.

We appreciate this recognition and, most importantly, the work our staff does every day to make Mount Rainier Pool a safe and welcoming place for our community.

YOU CAN’T STOP AGING. BUT WATER CAN HELP YOU KEEP MOVING!

🏊‍♀️ Did you know that exercising in water can reduce the stress of weight-bearing exercise on your joints?

As we age, activities that once seemed easy can become more challenging. Walking, exercising, and everyday movements may become uncomfortable because of joint pain, stiffness, or reduced mobility.

But something remarkable happens when you step into a pool.

Water supports your body while still giving your muscles a workout!

According to Harvard Health, water-based exercise offers several important benefits:

💙 Less Pressure on Your Joints
Water’s buoyancy supports your body, reducing stress on your knees, hips, and back.

💪 Build Strength While You Move
Water provides natural resistance that helps strengthen muscles with less impact than many land-based exercises.

🚶 Improve Mobility & Flexibility
Water can make movement more comfortable, especially for people experiencing stiffness or arthritis.

❤️ Support Heart Health
Water walking, water exercise, and swimming can provide excellent cardiovascular workouts.

😊 Stay Active & Connected
Group exercise provides physical activity and opportunities to connect with others.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A SWIMMER TO ENJOY THE BENEFITS OF WATER!

At Mount Rainier Pool, there are many ways to get moving:

🏊 Lap Swimming — Full-body cardiovascular exercise.
🚶 Water Walking — Move at your own pace with the support of water.
💪 Shallow Water Exercise — Instructor-led strength and cardiovascular exercise.
🌊 Deep Water Exercise — Low-impact exercise using water’s resistance and buoyancy.

Whether you’re 30, 50, 70, or 90, staying active matters.

💙 A community pool is about more than swimming. It’s about helping people stay active throughout their lives.

💧 WATER WALKING | 11 AM–1 PM
Use the natural resistance of the water for a low-impact workout that gets you moving while being easier on your joints.

🏊 LAP SWIMMING | 11 AM–3 PM
Find your lane, set your own pace, and work toward your fitness goals with a great full-body workout.
