Members: Please reserve your space by 5pm THURSDAY prior to the new session in order to be sure we have appropriate coverage for our swimmers.  Classes are limited to 8 students.  If you do not see a purchase link for the class you want, contact HWRCsecretary@gmail.com to ask about your options and to be placed on a waiting list for that class.  If a class you want is full, we encourage you to still come to the first day to see if we have any last-minute openings.

If you have any questions on which level your child might be, please ask a lifeguard and they would be happy to test your child!
