PleASe noteDue to the necessity of replacing the aquatics center’s filtration system, all aquatics classes scheduled to begin in November through the end of January, have been can-celled at Fairland Sports and Aquatics Complex. Since the Winter Guide was at the printer, it was too late to remove these courses from the Winter Guide. The aquatics team and maintenance unit are working to resolve the problem. Some aquatics courses are being transferred to Rollingcrest-Chillum Splash Pool . Please call staff at Fairland, 301-362-6060, TTY 301-362-6090. Gymnastics, fitness and tennis courses are not affected by the pools closure. The rest of the complex remains open for business. We apologize for the inconvenience this is causing to our very loyal customers.

!

















k swim lessons: strokers, level 2Lessons focus on stroke development including front crawl and elementary backstroke.
