Get ready for summer fun! Dive into fitness and well-being with swimming – an excellent way to stay active, soak up the sun, and effectively manage conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and arthritis. Never learned to swim? Now’s the perfect time! Registration for youth and adult swim lessons is open. Learning to swim helps keep you safe around water. It teaches you how to be safe, helps you feel comfortable in the water, and helps you swim better. See City of Austin available swim lessons here and a list of all City pools here.
