Featuring two pools, the center offers year-round indoor swimming, with programs and lessons for all ages, abilities.
Last Saturday, the Phillips community joined the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) and a host of supporters for the grand opening of the Phillips Aquatics Center.
This week, swimming lessons begin with a four-week session, along with a range of drop-in programs at both of the facility's pools. These include public swim and family swim, water walking and lap swim, water fitness classes and a weekly women-and-girls swim session. Check out the full schedule on the MPRB website. While lessons for the spring session are
almost full, information on the summer session, beginning in June, will be available next
month.
