Sadly, due to school beginning Friday, July 31, and most of our staff returning to class as students and teachers, the last day for recreation swim will be Monday, July 27.
We will still offer special groups and daycare center days on Wednesday and Thursday, July 29 and 30.

We wish everyone a wonderful school year. Stay safe and we hope to see you next summer!
