Private Swim Lessons
Private lessons- $15/30-minute lesson You can sign up for 4, 6, or 8 sessions at a time. At the time of registration, we will get contact information and information about swim levels and goals. The aquatics specialist will then assign a swim instructor that will call to set up a time for your first lesson Offered year round.
AGE CONSIDERATIONS: If the child is outside of the recommended age group you will need to call to register. Online registration will not give you an option of registering for the correct class. If your child is more than a year outside of the recommended age for their correct level, group lessons may not be the best option for them
HEALTH REQUIREMENT: If your child is sick, they may not enter the water for two weeks after the last episode of diarrhea

The Heckart Community Center received word that a special visitor will be joining us for a swim! Come hang out with Santa and Mrs Claus while your swim!

Soon we will begin the next big step for SPR with the beginning stages of an Aquatic Facility! We look forward to getting input from community and keeping you informed each step of the way. I wish I had more information to share before this goes to the printer but at this time (in July) we are still finalizing location details. I know for many closing Centennial pool is sad, believe me it’s not easy for us either but it is the best decision for the community and department It is cheaper for us to build, maintain and staff one large outdoor facility than two small ones. It is also very important to the Park Board that we do this on the East side of town. Where Centennial Pool is located we have plans to put in a baseball themed Splash Pad along with Pickle Ball Courts and eventually an outdoor ice skating rink (this is 15 plus years away). The Splash Pad would be done much sooner
This has been in the planning stages, even before I was Park Director, and thanks to the planning and looking ahead, Retired Parks Director Mark Hewett worked very hard to put money aside for this project and I continued with that plan Therefore we will need to take a “loan” to complete the whole project but there will no tax increase for this large scale project. Again, this is exciting and will be a great improvement to our ever growing community! As always I am happy to answer any questions, concerns, or sugges w closing something that has so many memories isn’t an easy decision, but again this has be have been planning for and doing our best to make the best decision for the future plans
