Need a vacay for just a day? Try these great resort pools that are just a short drive from home and miles away from the ordinary.

My chihuahua wouldn't go near a pool, much less try to drag one into the house.

Lafayette Consolidated Government owns and operates four great pools throughout the Hub City. In addition to the pools being open to public swimming at designated times, there are some great activities scheduled at some of the pools.

Well, we all knew this was coming.  Whether or not you followed the 2012 Olympics, or merely tuned in to see the Spice Girls’ glorious reunion, chances are you’ve heard the name Ryan Lochte floating about.  Not only has the Olympic gold-medal winning swimmer set his sights on the reality TV circuit, now it seems like he’s paddling his way toward scripted television as well.  And what groundbreakin

Tuesday, July 31st, everyone's invited for a night of family fun to watch Olympic races from the Earl J. Chris pool at the Robichaux Center from 5-7 PM. Enjoy hotdogs, nachos, snow balls, face painting, open swimming for the whole family, crafts, and more as Lafayette supports TEAM USA!
