Flock to the fun and cheer on your lucky ducks as they race along the lazy river at The Ellen Trivanovich Aquatic Center during our first annual Ducks-n-Donuts Derby!
Beginning at 8:30am, registrants will pick up their ducks from the check-in station and have the opportunity to get all their ducks in a row by writing their assigned number on their bottoms. Ducks will then be collected by recreation staff in preparation of their big splash. Race heats start promptly at 9:00am when recreation staff pour ducks into the lazy river.
Winners from each qualifying heat will earn a spot in the championship race. Championship racers will have a chance to swim away with up to (4) 2022 pool season passes!
If you would like to choose your duck from a variety of stylish swimmers, please arrive before the second heat. Otherwise, your duck will be chosen for you by recreation staff.
Participants DO NOT need to be present to win. You DO NOT need to have a pool membership to attend.
Donuts will be provided by Giant Eagle, while supplies last. Proceeds go to Friends of the Park, a 501(c)(3) organization in Avon Lake.
