I want to provide a few updates regarding our aquatics programming.

Private Swim Lessons
Please be advised that we will no longer be utilizing online sign-ups for private swim lessons. Instead, we have implemented the following process:

- Pick up a registration form at the front desk.
- Select your preferred lessons and submit payment at the desk.
- Once submitted, we will coordinate with our instructors, who will contact you to schedule lessons based on your availability.

Summer Swim Classes
We have received many inquiries regarding our summer swim lesson classes. I have an upcoming meeting scheduled with our instructors to finalize these details. I will share more information with everyone as soon as it becomes available.

Staff Update
Finally, I want to wish Isiah Jackson, our Aquatics Program Coordinator, the very best. His last day with us will be this Friday.

-Anthony McDowell
Aquatic Manager
