The revamped Sholem Aquatic Center features a 197-foot enclosed body slide called "The Plunge", an 18-inch-deep baby pool, a 5-foot deep lane swimming area for lap swimmers, and a 660-foot "river" down which patrons can float in plastic inner tubes. The pool has been extremely popular since its opening - the News-Gazette reported that the pool complex drew nearly 27,000 people from July 1 to July 24.
