Swimming

Covington’s Aquatic Facilities are back in operation for the 2023 season. Hours are noon to 6 p.m., seven days a week, from June 10 to Aug. 6.

The City operates two pools and one zero-depth water park/splash pad. Admission is free to Covington residents with a pool pass (see below). Pools employ lifeguards and pool attendants, and also have food and drink for purchase.  

• Randolph Park, located in the Eastside neighborhood at East 8th and Greenup Streets, offers an Olympic sized swimming pool for recreational swimming. 
• Goebel Park Pool is located along Philadelphia Street between West 5th and West 9th Streets in the Mainstrasse neighborhood. 
• The Latonia Water Park/Splash Pad is located in the Bill Cappel Youth Sports Complex at 43rd Street and Decoursey Avenue. The zero-depth park offers hoses, sprinklers, slides, and play equipment and is perfect for young children.

Annual pool passes are free to Covington residents. To obtain:

• Register during your first visit to a Covington pool. Either bring a completed application, available HERE, or obtain it at the pool and fill it out there.
• Bring proof of residency (a valid driver's license or state ID). If you have recently relocated to Covington and do not yet have an ID with proof of address, bring a lease or utility bill showing a Covington address along with a photo ID.
• Applicants must be 18 or older and must complete and sign their own form. Parents and grandparents may register children or grandchildren under the age of 18.
• Each registration form comes with 10 guest passes for use during the swim season.

Swim classes and arts and crafts activities are also occasionally offered at the pool locations and will be announced later on the Parks & Rec Facebook page, @covparks.
