NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR Fall has a way of inviting us back to what matters most: connection, movement, and, of course, play. As summer sunsets give way to cooler temperatures, Friday night lights, and the excitement of a new season, life naturally shifts into a faster rhythm. School schedules return, calendars fill up, and holiday plans begin to take shape. Amid all the activity, one thing remains essential…making time to play.

Play isn't just fun. Play is fuel. It helps reduce stress, sparks creativity, strengthens relationships, boosts energy, and supports our overall wellbeing. That's why Play Frisco is committed to creating opportunities for everyone to discover the power of play in their everyday lives.

Shannon Coates Director of Play Frisco

This fall, explore a neighborhood park, take in the changing scenery along our trails, experience one of our community events, challenge yourself with a new class, or prioritize your wellness at the Frisco Athletic Center. Whether your play style is active, creative, social, adventurous, or somewhere in between, there's a place for you here. So grab a friend, bring the family, try something new, and make this your season to play. Your next adventure is waiting, right here in Frisco!

FRISCO PUBLIC ART ARTIST-LED WORKSHOPS

ART AROUND TOWN

Public Art hosts many exciting art workshops for adults in collaboration with the Heritage Museum and Discovery Center. These workshops are led by working artists from the DFW area (and are either local to or have a connection to Frisco). They give the artists a platform to share their expertise and hone their teaching skills while offering the Frisco community an opportunity to learn niche artistic techniques or styles. We’ve had workshops in urban art, en plein air, acrylic techniques and photography and are currently planning our 2027 calendar.

Art is everywhere in Frisco. The City of Frisco Public Art Program enhances the community by integrating artists' work into public spaces, civic infrastructure, and everyday places where people live, work, and play. With 67 pieces in the City's public art collection, residents and visitors can experience sculptures, murals, photography, and interactive installations that celebrate Frisco's culture, creativity, and growth.

Explore the collection and plan your own public art adventure at

If you’re an artist and want to share your skills with the community, reach out to Emma Rye at erye@friscotexas.gov to discuss ideas and opportunities.

POLLINATOR PARADISE CREATE A BIODIVERSE BACKYARD

Food: Providing a variety of food sources allows pollinators to have energy to navigate the urban enviroment.

Water: Establishing a water source ensures pollinators have drinking water and a place to bathe.

Nursery: All species need a safe place where their young can grow without being disturbed or threatened by predators.

Cover: Leaf litter and pithy stems provide shelter for pollinators to overwinter and escape the Texas heat.

WHICH SWIM LEVEL IS RIGHT FOR MY CHILD? Free swim assessments, completed by one of our certified swim instructors, evaluate a child's current water skills to determine which Learn to Swim level is best. Assessments are not required for Learn to Swim enrollment.

TO SCHEDULE SWIM ASSESSMENTS CONTACT MIKE TAYLOR AT MTAYLOR@FRISCOTEXAS.GOV

LEARN TO SWIM CLASSES Parent & Child

The purpose of the Parent and Child Aquatic program is to help young children become comfortable in and around the water so they are ready to learn to swim. While the class is designed to raise the comfort level of the child, it is also intended to educate the parent or caregiver in basic water skills so they are better equipped to aid in their child's aquatic education and ensure that their child stays safe in all water activities. Children two to three years will be introduced to equipment used in preschool lessons and will work with instructors on taking individual direction to help transition from parent and child to preschool swim classes.

Preschool

Proper swim wear is required. The earlier a child becomes comfortable in water, familiar with safety precautions, and introduced to the basics of beginner swimming, the better prepared they will be around pools, lakes, and other aquatic environments. The Preschool class will teach the fundamentals of water safety, buoyancy, breath control, swimming on front and back, changing direction and water entry and exit. This class will be divided into three separate skill groups (beginner, intermediate and advanced).

Level 1

The objectives of Level 1 are for students to be comfortable with swimming on their front and back for 10 to 15 seconds. Students will learn to glide on their front and back for 3 to 5 of their own body lengths, front and back streamline with kicks up to 5 body lengths, rolling over from front-to-back and back-to-front, and independently get 4 breaths while traveling. Safe swimming practices will be taught at every lesson.

Level 2

The objective of Level 2 is for students to propel themselves unsupported on their front and back using coordinated arm and leg action (front crawl and back crawl). They will also learn to front and back float and recover to a vertical position without support. Treading water and rotary/side breathing are also introduced.

Level 3

To enroll in this level, students must be able to demonstrate the skills listed in Level 2 without assistance. The objective of Level 3 is to continue improvement on front crawl with rotary/side breathing, back crawl, and treading water. Students will also be introduced to and are expected to master: elementary backstroke, dolphin kick, and breaststroke kick.

Level 4

To enroll in this level, students must be able to demonstrate the skills listed in Level 3. The objective of this level is to continue improvement on the front crawl, back crawl, elementary backstroke, and treading water. In addition, students will be introduced to and are expected to

Level 4 (cont.)

master the timing/coordination for the breaststroke and butterfly.

Students will also learn compact jumps and demonstrate swimming 25 yards.

Level 5

To enroll in this level, students must be able to show competency in breathing and execution of all four major strokes (front crawl, back crawl, breaststroke, and butterfly) as well as the elementary backstroke. The objective of this level is to continue improvement on the front crawl, back crawl, elementary backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. Students will be swimming distances up to and exceeding 50 yards to refine each stroke over a water depth of 8 feet. This level will introduce flip turns, open turns, sidestroke, and expand on personal water safety tips.

Level 6

To enroll in this level, students must be able to show an effective and proficient stroke as well as the appropriate turns in the following: freestyle 75 yards, backstroke 50 yards, breaststroke 50 yards and butterfly 25 yards. Students should also be prepared to show mastery of the elementary backstroke, side stroke, and surface dives. The objective of Level 6 is to refine the four major strokes. Students will combine strokes and turns in order to swim with more ease, efficiency, and build endurance over longer distances.

Level 7 Skill Clinic

Registration held through Mike Taylor at 972-292-6629. Level 7 “Skill Clinic” A two-month long clinic that focuses on skills related to the preparation of joining a swim team. Students must have passed Level 6 or attended a summer swim team. Focus will be on effective and efficient 100 yards Freestyle, Backstroke, 75 yards Breaststroke, and 50 yards Butterfly to register. Skills learned will include: Open & Flip Turns, Individual Medley Transitions, Stroke breakouts and pullouts, Starts, Time Clock use & sets, and more!

Teen

This class is for those teens that did not have the opportunity to take swim lessons when they were younger. In a class setting of your peers, you will learn basic competitive strokes and safety/resting strokes that will build your confidence and abilities in, on and around the water.

Adult

Each student’s experience in the water may range from no formal training, a desire to increase stroke proficiency, or a need to gain knowledge in aquatics for training purposes. This class will teach the fundamentals of water safety, buoyancy, breath control, front crawl with rotary/side breathing, and more. Participants should come to class with goals in mind on what they want to achieve during the session.
