Swim Lesson Registration opens April 2nd 9:00am.
**New this year we will be scheduling class times following the registration numbers** All classes will fall between 8:00am and 1:00pm. Scheduling the classes after registration will allow us to work with fluctuating numbers in the classes and hopefully allow us to best utilize pool space and provide the appropriate number of classes. This will be a one year trial basis.
