More Pool Admissions In Dubuque This Summer Than Last Summer

Despite just one municipal pool being open this summer, the City of Dubuque recorded more pool admissions than the prior year. Flora Pool recorded 27,270 daily admissions during its season from June 3rd to August 14th, a 9% increase over 2021 admissions when Flora and Sutton pools were open on alternating schedules. Sutton Pool remained closed this year due to staffing shortages. However, this year’s numbers include nearly 6,000 daily admissions that came from the use of pool punch cards, a temporary replacement for pool passes that was implemented in 2021 but not counted that year for total admissions. Recreation Division Manager Dan Kroger called the summer pool season a success.
