Happenings

Swim Lesson Registration Opens March 15

Juneau Pools is offering a variety of swim lessons at Dimond Park Aquatic Center and Augustus G. Brown Swimming Pool during the upcoming spring season, including beginner and intermediate lessons for preschool & youth age groups, Parent & Tot lessons, and the Lil' Swimmers program for preschool beginners.

Registration for all swim lessons will open on Friday, March 15 at noon. To register, visit the Parks & Recreation online registration catalog and click on the Juneau Pools tab. Registrations will not be taken over the phone, in person, or in advance.

Family Fun Night | March 22

AEYC-SEA and Parks & Recreation are continuing Family Fun Nights to the Dimond Park Field House through the spring. The next event is March 22 from 5-6:30 p.m. Although this event is designed for families with young children ages 0-6, older siblings are also welcome. Toys will be set out for play and no registration is required—just show up full of energy, sign in at the door, and have some fun!
