Do you have any info on swim lessons at Moxee Pool?
Sorry, Moxee is not part of our coverage area at this time. Until the pool opens, call City Hall for info: 575-8851. After school gets out, call the pool: 306 S. Iler St.; 248-8067.
Do you have a schedule for 2010 swimming lessons? If not, do you know when one will be ready? Thanks.
Hi Paul. We should have the summer schedule ready sometime in May. The next issue of the magazine comes out on May 26. In the meantime, find swim lessons year-round at Lions Pool and the YMCA. Thanks!
