Summer swim lessons registration reopens Thursday, May 19

UPDATE @ 3PM 5/17/22: Due to the overwhelming number of individuals registering for Juneau Parks & Recreation’s youth summer swim lessons the payment software crashed. Registration was temporarily paused to investigate the technical issues.

Registration will reopen online Thursday, May 19 at noon here. Registrations will not be taken over the phone, in-person, or in advance. Please note, a number of individuals were able to register before the payment software crashed and eight classes are full. The classes that are listed online still have space available to register.

ORIGINAL: In response to strong community demand, three additional sessions of youth swim lessons will be added this summer. A total of 288 slots are available at the Dimond Park Aquatic Center between June 6 and July 28.

Group lessons will follow a summer camp model, with classes held Monday – Thursday mornings for two weeks per session. Students will be sorted into classes by age and skill level. More information can be found here.
