Adult Aquatics
Welcome to Adult Aquatics!
SPECIAL SUMMER EVENT
Our goal is to help our participants grow mentally, physically, and spiritually, through instructional (Swim Lessons, Water Fitness, Specialty) and Recreational programs, designed for all ages, abilities, levels, and interests. These programs lay a foundation of water skills and safety guidelines so you can enjoy a lifetime of safe, healthy aquatic activities. Be sure to check our Aquatics bulletin board in the hallway between the Leisure Pool and Lap Pool entrance doors for the current Pool Schedule, program registration reminders, and Aquatics happenings.
Staff
All Aquatics staff members receive trainings in child abuse prevention, disease transmission prevention, and customer service. Our lifeguards hold current certifications in American Red Cross Lifeguarding, First Aid, and Professional Rescuer CPR/AED. Our instructors may hold the same certifications as our lifeguards, as well as other job-related certifications. At least one lifeguard is on duty during pool operating hours.
