Is it too hot? Time to get your splash on and everybody get into the pools.

Here is a quick glance of hours, days and costs.

HOBBS

• Del Norte Pool is open from noon to 6 p.m. daily, except Mondays. Del Norte pool is free for ages 3 years and younger and 62 and older and $2 for ages 4 to 61.

• Humble Park Pool, on Grimes Street closer to downtown, is open noon to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday – Friday and noon to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Admission to Humble Pool is $2 for age 18 – 61.

• All the splash pads in the city are open seven days a week from 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Hobbs City Park, Washington Park, Jefferson Park, Mills Elementary and Taylor Elementary.

• CORE  — All pools at the CORE on North Lovington Highway have extended hours during the summer months. All the pools at the CORE will open at noon, except on Mondays.

• All Hobbs pools — Del Norte Park, Humble Park and the CORE — are closed on Mondays to allow for in-service training.

And for the first time in a few years, Hobbs isn’t having to deal with the nation-wide shortage of lifeguards.
“Fortunately we had a really good turnout for lifeguards this year,” Michel Hughes, city recreation superintendent, said. “It hasn’t always been that way. But it’s kind of an issue all over the place, we’re not unique in any regards in having enough lifeguards.”
