  • Lap lanes for exercise and lessons

  • Leisure space for lounging, aquatics sports, hot tub, and more

Natatorium Hours - The aquatics facility has a wide span of hours designated to lap swim and open recreation. Please check the schedule to find a time that best fits your needs. 

Swim Lessons - Since 1914, the American Red Cross has helped millions of people learn to swim through the nation’s first water safety program, and it’s still the gold standard more than 100 years later!

Certifications - Being prepared for different types of emergencies is an invaluable skill.  Knowing how to bandage a wound, care for a sudden illness, when to call 911 or how to rescue a drowning victim can make a difference.  Join us in these hands on classes and learn how to save a life.
