While the spring swimming schedule and events for the Arne Hanna Aquatic Center are coming to a close, the new summer schedule becomes effective starting June 21 and continues until Aug. 15. The aquatic center is located on Potter Street off I-5 north, so the summer activities are conveniently held near the York District and its residents.
There is online, walk-in, and over-the-phone registration for the weekly activities and all age groups are able to join, including seniors and those classified as Disabled by the State or Federal government. Lap swim, swim lessons, deep-water running, water aerobics, and other programs are available Monday through Friday, as well as preschool swim and H20 child care. Many other programs are included in the summer schedule such as swim teams and kayaking, and basic open swim is available at certain time slots throughout the week.
Water safety instructor courses are provided for students over the age of 16 where completers will receive a certificate allowing them to teach American Red Cross’s Learn-to-Swim courses and parent/child programs. There are also lifeguard training courses for potential lifeguards and lifeguard review courses for those who already have certification.
The aquatic center is also joining pools from around the world to break the 2013 World Record for the largest simultaneous swim lesson. The world’s largest swimming lesson will be attempted on June 20th where the importance of swim lessons and water safety will be taught to children. The swim lesson is held at no cost and the registration deadline is scheduled a day before the event on June 19.
The Arne Hanna Aquatic Center is offers activities Monday through Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday from 8:45 a.m. to 6:45 p.m., and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. After the aquatic center’s weekend activities come to close at 6:45 p.m., the pool is available to rent out for birthdays and entertainment.
