Registration Underway for Tierrasanta Community Pool Classes 2002

The City of San Diego Park & Recreation Department¹s Aquatics Department now offers mail-in registration for swim lessons at all of the City¹s 13 pools, including the Tierrasanta Community Pool (858-636-4837). In-person open registration begins on June 15th and will continue throughout the summer.
     This change should make the registration process as easy as possible. It will soon be possible to register for swim lessons in advance, with up to two sessions per participant.
This summer¹s schedule includes five two-week learning sessions beginning June 24th. Classes will meet daily for 30 minutes at all pool locations. Call the Tierrasanta Community Pool at 858-636-4837 for schedule information.
     Last year, approximately 18,000 youth took part in the Learn to Swim program offered at all City pools. In addition to swim lessons, City pools offer swim and water polo team programs, water fitness classes, senior specialty programs, lap and recreational swim times, and adaptive swim programs for those with disabilities.
     During the summer the pool is open an average of 10-15 hours per day. The cost for lap and recreational swim times is $2 for adults (16-61), and $1.50 for children (15 and younger), seniors (62 and older) and the disabled.
     Any family that cannot afford the cost of swimming may apply for a fee waiver, making it possible to participate in any program for free. To apply for a fee waiver, an individual must show proof of residency and an income tax statement including number of family members. For those who do not file an income tax return, a Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) Social Services Action Form can be submitted as verification. This information is then compared to the Financial Assistance Scale in the Park and Recreation Department¹s fee schedule.
