LEARN-TO-SWIM PROGRAM

Broomfield Recreation Aquatics offers the American Red Cross Learn-To-Swim program to provide a safe, fun environment for your child to learn the fundamentals of swimming as well as learn self-confidence. We promote personal development, water safety, and the learning of a lifetime skill that can enhance your child’s life. For additional information or if you are not sure what level to sign your child up for, contact aquatics@broomfield.org

HOW MANY CLASSES SHOULD I SIGN UP FOR?

When registering for consecutive sessions of the American Red Cross Learn-To-Swim program, we recommend that you sign up for the same class level at least two times. Due to the high demand for swim lessons, we cannot guarantee that space will be available for your child to move up or down after your initial registration.

We encourage you to talk to the instructor about your child’s progress and utilize the waitlist process whenever possible if classes are full. We will increase classes due to demand and instructor/space availability.

"RIGHT IN THE EYE" LIVE MOVIE CONCERT WITH ALCOLÉA & CIE

Come enjoy a performance from Broomfield's 2024 Residence in Artistry, Alcoléa & cie. “Right in the Eye” is an immersive concert/cinematic experience comprised of twelve short films by Georges Méliès, a master of early cinema and a wizard of special effects. Many are familiar with his dazzling and pioneering film work from the hit 2011 Martin Scorsese movie “Hugo”. On stage, during the screening, the Alcoléa et Cie Ensemble trio of musicians plays some fifty different instruments, including rare, unique, and hand-built ones. Acclaimed French composer and musician Jean-François Alcoléa has written the original score, which unfolds in perfect symbiosis with the creative genius of Méliès. Poetic, playful, and filled with surprise and delight, Right in the Eye is a great show for children, adults, and everyone in between who loves the sweet madness of early cinema and exciting contemporary music. Following successful runs and 500 performances in Europe and in North America, the French artist and composer Jean-François Alcoléa continues his epic journey all over the world.

BROOMFIELD DEPOT MUSEUM AND CRAWFORD HONEY HOUSE OPEN HOURS Come explore Broomfield's History at the Broomfield Depot Museum and Crawford Honey House! The Broomfield Depot and the Crawford Honey House are two of the oldest extant buildings in Broomfield. Built-in 1909, the Broomfield Depot was the ‘live-in’ train depot for the Colorado and Southern Railroad. Originally located along 120th Ave. near the grain silos, the Depot has been run as a Museum since it was moved to its current location in Zang Spur Park in 1976. The Crawford Honey House dates to 1905. It was built by the Crawford family as a place to process honey from their apiary, which housed over 1,000 beehives during its heyday. The Honey House was renovated in 2022 as an exhibit and programming space and now showcases Broomfield’s agricultural history and the story of beekeeping and the Crawford family.

“Right in the Eye” is an immersive concert/cinematic experience comprised of twelve short films by Georges Méliès, a master of early cinema and a wizard of special effects. On stage, during the screening, the Alcoléa et Cie Ensemble trio of musicians plays some fifty different instruments, including rare, unique, and hand-built ones. Acclaimed French composer and musician Jean-François Alcoléa has written the original score, which unfolds in perfect symbiosis with the creative genius of Méliès. Poetic, playful, and filled with surprise and delight, Right in the Eye is a great show for children, adults, and everyone in between who loves the sweet madness of early cinema and exciting contemporary music"
