Fall swimming lessons and the rest of the city’s programming is opening soon for registration.

In a July 30 news release, the municipality said fall swimming lessons and recreational programs like cooking classes and art studios are opening in August for registration.

Swimming lesson sign up starts Aug. 13 at 9 p.m. Recreational and cultural activities, including PA day and winter camps, open on Aug. 15 at 9 p.m.

“Enjoy a wide range of recreational and cultural activities at the City’s art studios, museums, parks, play structures and indoor and outdoor features including rinks, sports fields, tennis and basketball courts, pools and gymnasiums,” the press release reads.

Before selecting a program the city says people need to register an account first. By adding a credit card to the profile it will make the checkout process easier.

“Be sure to bookmark a few activities just in case your first choice is full,” the city notes.
