Swimming Lessons There is nothing like spending a hot summer day cooling off in the water, but knowing how to swim is crucial in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. Beat the heat and stay safe by signing up for summer swimming lessons today! Only $60/person and all ages are welcome.  Looking for other ways to cool off? Check out our free splash pads or browse a list of air-conditioned rec centers.
