Answer
Aquafitness and length swim programs are very popular and tend to fill up quickly. Residents can register up to seven days in advance, while non-residents can register four days in advance. In response to demand, class capacities were increased in 2024 — up to 35 participants for aquafitness and 40 for length swim. The City will continue to offer programs at these maximum capacities.

Answer
Yes — five walk-in spots will be available for each aquafitness and length swim class. Walk-ins can be requested in person at the check-in desk, starting one hour before the program begins. Availability is first-come, first-served.

Answer
For safety reasons, classes may be canceled in the event of inclement weather, such as thunderstorms. If this happens, registered participants will be notified by email, and a credit may be issued, depending on the circumstances.
