Let's
not,
let's
start
with
swimming
lessons
this
this
summer,
we're
going
to
be
offering
a
swimming
class
geared
for
introductory
introductory
swimmers
for
preteens
and
teens.
They
won't
have
to
swim
with
the
little
kids
and
they'll
learn
how
to
swim
with.
You
know
similar
age
group,
so
we're
excited
about
that.
In
another
program.
We're
super
excited
about
is
in
the
wellness
department,
we're
going
to
be
offering
a
5k
training
program
for
adult
and
child
pair,
so
they
will
learn
how
to
learn
the
fundamentals
of
running
and
in
preparation
for
Midnight
Madness.

A
Was
a
great
kind
of
family
interactive,
getting
active
this
season,
the
teen
and
tween
swimming?
What
a
great
idea!
I
know
that
a
lot
of
smaller
children
are
involved
in
some
lessons
and
they
kind
of
move
up
the
ranks,
but
if
you've
had
a
kid
who's
not
followed
through
or
a
lot
of
times,
kids
get
scared
and
they
don't
want
to
do
swimming.
This
is
a
way
to
kind
of
draw
them
back
into
that
correct.
B
And
that's
one
thing
we
have
heard
from
from
customers
is
that
the
children
are
older
and
they
don't
want
to
go
with
the
five
six
seven
year
olds.
They're
they're
embarrassed.
So
we
thought
this
was
a
great
opportunity
to
start
this
class
and
and
get
them
evolved
and
and
maybe
someday
they
will-
and
you
know,
enroll
in
junior
lifeguarding
and
lifeguarding
class
if
they
enjoy
swimming
in
our
good
swimmer.
So.
A
B
And
we
feel
the
exact
same
way
and
we
offer
a
number
of
different
swimming
lessons
both
inside
at
municipal
pool
and
outside
at
from
an
aquatic
center
in
the
in
the
summertime
we
have
daytime
swimming.
We
have
Evening
lessons,
so
hopefully
we
have
a
lesson
that
will
fit
everybody's
schedule
and
not.
A
A
B
You
can
purchase
your
swim
pass
on
at
the
community
center
office
on
the
renewal
will
be
discounted
through
May
first
so
this
year
it
does
need
to
be
done
by
May.
First,
you
will
get
a
15-percent
discount
if
you
purchase
by
May
first
and
if
you're,
if
you're,
renewing
a
new
pass
will
get
a
ten
percent
discount
purchase
through
May
first,
after
that
it
will
be
at
regular
prices.
So.
A
B
You
know,
like
I,
said
we're
super
excited
about
it.
You
know
something
they
can
do
together
and
train
together
and
in
a
nice
easy
distance.
Hopefully
they
can
run
some
if
they
have
to
walk.
That's
fine
too,
but
it'll.
You
know
they're.
The
class
is
going
to
be
two
times
a
week
and
I'll
give
them
that
those
basic
running
fundamentals
so.
A

Very
soon,
very
soon
and
Susan
we
are
planning
to
open
early
April,
ish
weather-dependent
will
will
keep
the
citizens
or
the
residents
and
involved
and
let
them
know
as
soon
as
we
know
the
exact
date.
But
we're
thinking.

did
the
first
roughly
18
parks
this
pasture
and

other
half

new
challenges.
So

a
great
opportunity.
