Swim lesson registration is now open. It will be monitored daily and closed periodically as classes fill, so please check back at a later time if you encounter any issues. Register early to ensure your choice of sessions and class times. Each time slot available for classes will be removed from the Registration Form options as they fill, and we will announce when all classes have been filled for the upcoming sessions.
Don’t forget summer is right around the corner and Keith Hill’s pool will be open for more fun in the sun. Fingers crossed for May 1st!
