The outdoor pool is the hottest ticket in town during the summer (very crowded).

If you have a group of eight or more, you can get a group rate of $3.50 per person if you reserve in advance. The indoor pool has the same pricing.

Over a dozen different swimming classes are offered year-round for children ages three to five. Discounts are available if enrolling more than one child. Private lessons are not scheduled at the center, though arrangements can be made to use the pool for private lessons.

Puck practice, hockey lessons and hockey leagues are all geared to get you as close to the NHL as possible. Puck practice is $5 per player (free for goalies) and is scheduled by age groups. Please check the schedule or call the center for more information.

Hockey lessons are offered year round for children ages five to 16. Basic skating skills are a pre-requisite for these classes.
