Programs & Activities

Open Swim

Open for all ages. Children under 52 inches in height must be accompanied by an adult in the water at all times. Adults need to stay within arms reach of children under 52 inches even if the children are wearing life jackets. For safety we recommend a ratio of 2 non-swimmers per one adult. Children 9-13 do not need an adult if they can pass a swim test. See schedule tab for times and days.

Lap Swim

Lap swim is available at scheduled times.

Water Aerobics

Instructors lead small groups through water aerobics. Gain muscle conditioning and cardiovascular endurance from the aerobic choreography and the resistance of the water. Ideal for all fitness levels, non-swimmers included.

Swim Lessons

Whether you’re a beginner or brushing up on your skills, our instructors help swimmers of every age feel confident and safe in the water. With small class sizes, more time for instruction, and a skill-based approach, you’ll progress at your own pace. All lessons are 30 minutes long. You must register for swim lessons in-person and sign a registration and waiver form. Please make sure you shower your child before entering the pool.
