The Kentwood Aquatic Center located at East Kentwood High School is a popular gathering spot for members of our community. Folks of all ages begin arriving at the pool before the sun comes up and keep coming until well into the evening. They are greeted each day with a warm welcome and are served by a dedicated Aquatic Center staff. Learn more about the center in this video created in partnership with AVES Films.
