2025 Cardboard Boat Races

How it Works

  • Boat Building: Teams will have 1.5 hours to build the boats before the race begins. Only cardboard and duct tape can be used – no other materials allowed! (Materials are provided)
  • The Race: Once boats are built, teams will race across the pool. The first team to reach the finish line wins!
  • Awards: Prizes for Fastest Boat, Most Creative Design, and Best Name.

Who Can Participate?

  • Teams of all ages are welcome! This event is perfect for friends and families!
  • Children six (6) and under, those who require lifejackets, or non-swimmers, must be accompanied by an adult in the water within arms reach at all times. 

Modified Lap Swim & Family Open Swim Hours - 7/12/2025

There will be no Lap Swim or Family Open Swim on July 12th from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM due to the Tukwila Pool’s Summer Splash League Swim Meet. 

Shallow-End Stairs Unavailable

At this time there are no stairs available to enter the shallow pool. The estimated timeline to receive and repair stair parts is 8-9 weeks (approx. September 2025)

The chair-lift is available for use. The chair-lift is accessible to both the shallow and deep pool and has a weight limit of 500 lbs. 

A lifeguard is happy to assist any patrons requesting to use the chair-lift.
