Despite a slow start to the season, Dubuque’s two city pools drew more than 70,000 swimmers this summer. Officials counted 72,329 daily admissions at the Flora Park and Nicholas J. Sutton pools during the 2019 season. More than 50,000 people visited Flora pool and nearly 22,000 visited Sutton pool. City workers counted a drop in the number of passes sold this summer, likely because of poor weather during May and June. Extra days added to school calendars because of winter weather cancellations also slowed the start of the season. However, as the weather warmed up, attendance improved, leading to an increase in daily admissions. Dan Kroger, recreation division manager for the city, said one particularly popular offering was an adaptive swim program. Staffers on several Saturdays opened up the pool specifically for children and adults who have disabilities.
