Beginning Monday, April 3 residents can sign up for swimming lessons and the new spring and summer activities offered by the Parks and Recreation Division.
Unlike in years past, all swimming lessons, activities, and pool passes will need to be obtained through the online Active page. Before registering you will need to create an account which can be done anytime beforehand. You will also need to know what swimming lesson level your child is in. You can call the Parks and Recreation Office if you’re unsure. Group swimming lessons are on a first come first served basis. If your level is full, you will be placed on a waiting list and contacted if a spot opens.
“With our new online registration process, one of the benefits is the convenience and speed it provides. People will no longer have to wait in line to sign up for group swimming lessons at AquaVenture or for any of our recreation programs. People can register at their own convenience and submit their information, receiving immediate confirmation,” said PJ Evans, Assistant Director of Recreation. “Our online registration process also allows you to purchase passes to AquaVenture eliminating the old paper method. We are pleased to bring a variety of new recreation programs to the Norfolk area. Our goal is to increase activities in all our parks and build community spirit and health for all income levels, and ages.”
Private swimming lessons are also available for online signup April 3.
Once an account is created, you will see a full list of activities including an Adult Kickball League, Super Soaker Wars, Movies in the Park, Team Outdoor Pickleball, and so much more.
“Our Parks and Recreation Department has been working very hard on reforming business practices that make operations more efficient and user-friendly for citizens. That hard work is paying off,” said Mayor Josh Moenning. “I am also very pleased with how much new programming Parks is bringing to the community. Through new ideas, new creativity and vision, and new resources, Parks is providing new recreation and community engagement opportunities for Norfolkans of all ages and backgrounds. It all adds up to building a stronger community.”
