Aquatics Programs
The city of la Habra swim program will be in full swing this summer, with new and returning events! As in the past, there will be swim lessons for children and open swim for all ages. There also will be Dive-In movies, where participants can cool off in or next to the pool while watching a family friendly movie. The aquatics staff will also staff the kids' zone at the concerts in the park this summer.
Swim lessons for youth are offered from beginning to advanced levels at the La Habra High School pool, 801 W. Highlander Ave., from mid-June through August. The La Habra Swim Program was developed to teach children water safety in a calm, safe, fun environment. We follow the American Red Cross Learn to Swim approach, implementing the stepping stone method, which places children into the appropriate skill level classes for the quickest possible progression. Class sessions last for two weeks and are held Monday-Thursday in 40-minute sessions. The cost is $65 per child, per two-week session. You can register in person at the La Habra Community Center, over the phone, or online. Additional fees apply for phone and online registration. Here is the 2017 swim lesson schedule:
Beginning June 5th, the La Habra High School pool will be open to the public for recreational swim, under the safety of City of La Habra lifeguard and other aquatic staff supervision, Monday-Thursday from 1:00-3:00 p.m. and Friday from 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. Every Friday, hot dogs will be added to the snack bar. Participants are expected to follow pool rules, which will be on display on the pool deck, as well as briefly provided at the time of entry onto the pool deck. Admission to open swim is $2 for adults (18 yrs. & older) and $1 for kids (17 yrs. & under). Please note that small children must be accompanied by a responsible adult, all swimmers must wear proper swim attire in the pool, and no toys or flotation devices are allowed in the pool.
