Well, we are now into August and the summer continues with sunshine and a little bit of rain.
Not to worry though, the aquatic centre will be offering two final weeks of Red Cross swim lessons starting Aug. 8 and Aug. 15.

Your child’s first time entering an aquatic centre environment should be a positive experience. With mom or dad in the water, the child is more relaxed and comfortable making this new experience fun and memorable.
Parents learn water safety skills for their family in and around pools, lakes and rivers. Register today for the next parent and tot summer evening camp held Aug. 8 to 11 from 6:30 to 7 p.m.

We are gearing up for fall here at Grand Forks Recreation (GFREC) with many new programs.
While the pool is shut down from Aug. 22 to Oct. 1, we will be offering a Stride to Strength walking program.
This program will include group walking and muscle strengthening. Using the outdoor environment for endurance walking, our well-trained instructor will use unique techniques to increase your cardio and build muscles to keep you healthier and active. Deadline to register for this six-week program is Aug. 15.
You will have the option to transfer the value of pool passes to cover the registration fee for this program. Classes will be held Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. starting Aug. 22.
