If your ideal Friday night involves cannonballs, foam noodles, and your kids actually sleeping well afterward, circle these dates now: June 27, July 18, and August 8. That’s when Splash Nights return to the Santa Monica Swim Center, turning otherwise ordinary evenings into full-on aquatic adventures.
This isn’t just open swim with a fancy name. Splash Nights bring out the big pool toys: a floating obstacle course, all-ages pool floats, plus diving boards and enough recreational swim space to keep every member of the family wet, wild, and happy.
It all goes down from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m., making it perfect for post-camp energy burning or a low-key Friday night plan that doesn’t involve screens or indoor tantrums. Just pay the regular entry fee, show up, and dive in—literally. No registration required.
The Details:
Where: Santa Monica Swim Center, 2225 16th Street, Santa Monica, 90405
When: Fridays — June 27, July 18, August 8
Time: 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Cost: Regular pool admission
Let’s be honest—between the floating obstacle course and the sheer joy of jumping into cool water on a hot summer evening, this is an easy win for local families. It’s the kind of thing that feels special without being overproduced. And yes, it’s a great excuse to dig out that pool bag and finally replace the cracked goggles.
So grab your suits, pack some snacks, and come ready to splash. These summer Fridays are made for fun that floats.
