AQUATICS

Indoor Pool

Pool Hours:

Monday–Friday 5:30 am–8:30 pm Saturday 9:00 am–8:30 pm Sunday CLOSED

The indoor pool at the Recreation Center is a 25-yard competition pool. There are eight six-foot-deep lap lanes. There is also a three-foot shallow end with water features and areas designed for swimming lessons.

Our programs include water aerobics, lifeguard training courses and learn to swim classes.

Inclement Weather Policy

All of our pools close for thirty minutes every time staff sees lightning or hears thunder. When this occurs, everyone will be asked to get out of the water immediately, and the thirty minute countdown will reset each time lightning strikes or thunder is heard.

This may result in lessons/classes being cancelled for the day. While on missed lesson or class will not be made up, if there is a second cancellation due to bad weather, arrangements may be made to make up the lost time by adding additional time to remaining classes, depending on the course. In case of inclement weather during swimming lessons, a water safety lesson will be given in lieu of water time. The City of Georgetown Parks and Recreation will make all lesson cancellations due to inclement weather with the safety of our participants in mind and cancellations will be made 30 minutes prior to class.

Age Restrictions

Adult/Guardian must be at least 16 years old!

1–6 Must have an adult/guardian in the pool and within arm’s reach at all times.

7–9 Must have an adult/guardian in the pool area at all times.

10+ May use the pool without adult/guardian.

Waiting Lists

Due to instructor/participant ratios, each class and program will have a maximum number of spots available. Once the class maximum has been reached, subsequent registrants will be notified that the class is full and you will have the option to be placed on a waiting list. Should spots become available, program openings will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis from registrants that appear on the waiting list.

Transfer/Refund Policy

Payment for each class session is due at time of registration. Refunds/transfers will only be given if notice is received at least seven days prior to the start of the aquatic program. No refund/transfer will be given with less than seven days’ notice. Complete refunds will only be given for department cancellations.

Due to staffing requirements, fees will not be pro-rated for partial attendance.

CHALLENGE COURSE

Nestled among the trees lining the North San Gabriel River, the Georgetown Challenge Course utilizes play, adventure and fun in an outdoor setting. The basic focus of a challenge course program is teamwork, effective communication, and problem solving. The course consists of numerous low element activities, 22 high elements, and a climbing & rappel tower.

Activity Examples

Low Element: “TP Shuffle” Ever walked across a downed tree? Think you could switch places with someone while on it? Let’s see how well your entire group could rearrange themselves, while in the same situation.

Think it’s easy? Try us.

The Program

Basic programs consist of a progression of activities and may be 4-hour or 6-hour sessions.

Each session begins with initiative and low element activities before progressing to highs.

Two hour specialty clinics are also available such as rappelling and climbing clinics.

Based on the information we receive about your group, we then design a program based on your specific goals. Programming considerations are: -Group type (businesses, churches, schools, etc.)

-Length of program (4-6 hours) -Number of participants (10 minimum) -Physical abilities -Age of participants (minimum age of ten) -Group goals/expectations

Basic Programs

$50.00 Non-Refundable Reservation Fee plus Participant Rates: 4 hours—Low element activities $35 Residents $45 Nonresidents

6 hours—Low element + high element challenges $45 Residents $55 Nonresidents Discounts available for non-profit organizations.

Please contact our Challenge Course Coordinator, Elliott Pervinich for more information, (512)931-2757 or email elliott.pervinich@georgetown.org

High Element: “Power Pole” First, climb atop a 25’ telephone pole, and then leap away from the pole to the trapeze while being belayed (connected to a safety system and harness).

Staff

Our staff is trained in accordance with the Association for Challenge Course Technology (ACCT) Practitioner Certification Standards.

Facilitators will guide your group to make the connection between the experience and real life application through focused discussion after each activity. As part of this group focus, we also provide the opportunity for personal growth, gained insight, a renewed spirit, and energy accomplished through shared success.

Memorial Tree & Bench

FORESTRY

Are you looking for a special way to mark the birth of a child, grandchild or celebrate a special birthday? Having trouble finding a unique wedding or anniversary gift? Looking for a way to memorialize loved ones who have passed away? Donating a memorial tree or bench to the City of Georgetown Parks and Recreation Department is the perfect way to commemorate all these occasions. There are few other gifts that will be as long lasting as a tree. A tree will immortalize your personal occasion, and a bench will give you and your family a place to go to remember. Either of these gifts will give back to your community in ways no other gift can. Memorial trees and benches will provide for a more enjoyable recreation experience for the citizens and visitors of Georgetown for many years to come. For more information about this program, please call Urban Forester, Heather Brewer McFarling, at (512) 930-6113 or email heather.brewer@georgetown.org. Please visit our website at parks.georgetown.org/forestry/memorial-tree-memorial-bench
