Under Phase 2 people are once again able to enjoy working out somewhere other than their living rooms with the re-opening of gyms and fitness centers, and gym owners are stepping up social distancing measures to make sure everyone stays healthy.

Recreational facilities and services in Carson City are beginning to reopen under new provisions by Governor Sisolak’s Phase 2 directives.

The Multipurpose Athletic Center has reopened and the Carson City Aquatic Facility and Carson City Community Center are gearing towards reopening on Monday, June 8.

The Carson City Parks and Recreation Department announced it is planning on reopening certain recreational facilities under Phase 2, with tentative dates announced for the beginning of June. These dates are all tentative, and may change as additional information becomes available.

While Phase 2 is allowing for more businesses to open, the language of the mandate is leaving some businesses confused, while others have already begun planning their reopening this weekend.

The Carson City Aquatic Facility will have the main 50 Meter indoor pool closed on Wednesday, August 21 from 8 a.m. to noon for a pump repair.

Summer is a time for ice cream, bike rides, carnivals, and of course, swimming. However, there is a shortage of lifeguards nationwide so extreme that pool programs are in jeopardy of shutting down.

“We are a part of the aquatic community that is suffering right now,” said Mike Freeman, Recreation Program Manager at the Carson City Aquatics Center.

In this week's edition of It's Your City host Cortney Bloomer speaks with Paradise Spa and Wellness Center owner Starr Harvey Nixdorf about the all-encompassing facility here in Carson City.

The Carson City Aquatic Facility has been closed to the public for about six weeks while updates and renovations took place. The pool was re-opened without much fanfare Tuesday with a grand reopening and free community swim set for Saturday to celebrate the completion, including a dive in family-friendly movie.

The Carson City Aquatic Center will be completing some needed maintenance on the roof of the facility. The floods earlier this year caused some leaks in various locations of the facility and the Parks and Recreation Department is working on getting the repairs completed before another winter season.

You could say Perry and Starr Nixdorf were jumping into the deep end of the pool when they decided to create Paradise Salon-Spa-Wellness, which celebrates its grand opening March 27-29.

It’s not just that they bought a building that is seven times larger than the previous salon space they rented on Winnie Lane. Or that they went from a staff of four to 19 independent contractors. Or that they expanded from doing hair and body piercing to just about every salon/spa service you could ask for.

Local business owners Perry and Starr Nixdorf announce that they bought the building at 3430 Executive Pointe Way. The previously bank-owned building is being remodeled to become the largest salon, spa and wellness center in Carson City.

Hair services performed at Hair Studio and body piercing services by Spear Me will be moved to the new location, to be called Paradise Salon-Spa-Wellness. It will be the only salon/spa in the area to provide private and semi-private salon suites.

The Carson City outdoor pool will be open for families to cool off on Sunday afternoons through summer. The pool had been closed Sundays for several seasons because of budget cuts.

Sunday's will have special rates and special themes to attract the entire family. With the many young families in Carson City, parks and recreation has decided to reopen the pool. Hours will be from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m.

The Carson City Recreation Department, through the generous support of Let Them Be Kids, is proud to announce the Joe Lopez Adult/Child Swim Hour for Children with Autism and ASD.

This program is a first of its kind in the Carson Valley and is designed specifically to expose children and adults with autism or ASD to the water. The swim hour is free of charge to anyone affected by Autism and is the precursor to the Joe Lopez Adaptive Swim program which will teach water safety and swim lessons to those on the spectrum and is set to begin in the first quarter of 2013.
