2. Glow Swim at the Bentonville Community Center. The community center (at 117 Central Ave.) is providing the exciting nighttime experience of swimming in the dark on Saturday, Feb. 6, from 5-6:30 p.m. The center will turn off all the pool deck lights, and leave on all the water features (slides, adventure river, and play structures).
Swimmers are encouraged to bring glow sticks to play with, and they’ll give glow sticks to the first 30 participants. This event will be lifeguarded and the lights inside the pool will stay on for safety reasons.
The event is free for Community Center members and non-members can purchase a day pass for the event.
