About the Dowding Municipal Pool
The new Dowding Municipal Pool opened on July 3, 2004, to rave reviews. The pool holds 740,000 gallons of water and has a capacity of 1,200 patrons. Pool features include a water slide, two diving towers, spring boards, lap swimming lanes, numerous water play features, a concession stand, and an ADA-compliant bathhouse. The new pool preserves the unique round design of the former pool, built in 1919, that had been a Seward landmark for more than 80 years.
