Lifeguarding

COVID-19 Update

We have made the difficult decision to cancel our summer swim lessons and aquatics classes. In spite of our best efforts to develop the safe guards needed to operate, we don’t feel that it is in the best interest of our customers and staff to move forward at this time.

We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause and encourage you to explore the many other recreation activities we know can be delivered in a safe format this summer.

Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to seeing you back in the pool in the near future.
