Happy !!! We wanted to share upcoming closures, news, and celebrate water safety with you all!
We will be closed for Spring Break from Sunday April 6th through Friday April 11th, there will be no programming or swim lessons during this annual closure.
Today is a day we celebrate all things water safety! We are very grateful to have been granted new lifejackets from the Washington State Parks & Recreation Commission Boating Department! This amazing grant lets us provide water safety education to our patrons, community, and swim lesson families. We have many fun activities planned throughout April and May to highlight ways families can safely enjoy the diverse and bountiful water our area contains.
This Friday during open swim (April 4th from 7:30-8:40pm) we will be offering demonstrations on how to fit your children to the correct size of lifejacket. This is our last open swim until Friday April 25th, due to our spring break closure next week and the ERHS Water Polo tournament on April 18th and 19th.
Today at swim lessons our instructors will be using the new lifejackets for the first time to focus on a few different safety topics. In addition to proper lifejacket fit and use, some of the safety topics we will be covering as part of our safety focus this month include safe usage of boats, canoes, and kayaks, the dangers of cold water, and "reach or throw, don't go".
Registration for our next rounds of swim lessons are this weekend! Registration for Tuesday and Thursday evening lessons will begin this Saturday, April 5th for classes beginning Tuesday April 15th. Registration for Saturday Morning session C will begin on Sunday, April 6th from classes running April 12th through June 7th with no class on May 24th for Memorial Day. Registration for both of these programs will go live at 8am through the Puyallup School District's online payment portal at https://wa-puyallup.intouchreceipting.com/signin. As a reminder, we are located under the "alternative" tab, we are not listed under "high school".
Have a wonderful break, and we hope to see everyone at the pool this spring!
