Group Swim Lessons Return in October!
Our Group Swim Lessons will take a short break during September and return for the fall beginning Sunday, October 4.
With Labor Day, Rosh Hashanah, and Yom Kippur all taking place in September, our pool schedule will include a Sunday closure and an early closure. We also want to give our families and staff the opportunity to observe the holidays.
We’re excited to welcome our swimmers back this fall!
