Whether it’s lessons, rec drop ins or summer camps, there are plenty of ways for Burlington residents to get into the swim of things this summer.
The City of Burlington’s summer swimming lessons and youth recreational programs will open for online registration April 23.
“Swimming and summer programs are an important part of many kids’ lives,” said Chris Glenn, director of Recreation, Community and Culture.
“They will provide activity, learning, fun and an opportunity to make friends and memories. Our staff are trained, ready and excited to run these programs.”
Burlington’s learn to swim program provides a full range of classes for swimmers of every skill level and age. Visit here to find out more about registered swim and aquatic leadership programs. June lessons at Tansley Woods and Nelson Pool begin June 4 and the full summer session begins July 4.
Dates for adult summer program registration will be announced later in May.
