Spring registration now open!
Registration is now open for swim lessons and aquafit classes. Aquatics have already been COVID-modified and are not impacted by the move into red zone. Classes will be just as fun as you remember, but with safety precautions in place, such as a parent or guardian accompanying younger students in the pool. Click on Ottawa.ca/recreation to book your spot.
