Summer Rec. Non-Member Swim Lessons

The Sports Center is proud to be able to support several of the surrounding communities by providing swim lessons and water safety information to their youth recreation participants. The Aquatics Department instructs 200 children per day, with about half achieving skills to pass one level during their six week period. It is our goal to ensure that every child learns to swim and have the knowledge to be safe in and around water.

The summer recreation swim lessons will start at the end of June in 2011 and run through through early August. Registration begins at the start of May for Summer Lessons. During this time, the morning adult swim time will be 6:00 to 8:45am. Adult swim will begin again at 12:15pm.
