Palm Desert Aquatic Center Offers a Splashingly Good Time on May 21 with Free Swim Lessons and Free Admission for Recreational Swim

With summer fast approaching Palm Desert Aquatic Center (PDAC) is holding a special swim lessons sign-up event on May 21, the first day to register for summer swim lessons. Those registering will receive a free 30-minute swim lesson taking place at the event, along with free admission for recreational swim that includes an additional two guests for use that day.

Swim lesson registration and free swim lessons are from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and recreational swim opens at 10 a.m. Online pre-registration for the event is located on the Announcements page at www.pdpool.com, now open through May 19. Pre-registration is required to receive the free lesson and free swim passes for recreational swim for the day.  The recreational swim includes swimming pools, diving boards, splash playground and slides which will remain open until 5 p.m. The snack bar at the facility offers food for purchase, and free popcorn will be available throughout the day. While all pools are monitored at all times by trained lifeguards, children 6 years and younger will need to be accompanied at all times by an adult and must have an adult in the water if they are not swimmers.

Financial Aid is available for those who qualify on a first come first serve basis.
