The Mountlake Terrace Recreation Pavilion is gearing up for a big month of April, as registration for spring break and spring Session 1 swimming lessons begin next week, and the annual April Pools Day is slated for April 12.

Students of any age home from school Apr. 7-11 can enjoy their spring break taking swim lessons at the Pavilion. Classes ranging from those intended for the young non-swimmer just learning all the way up to high schoolers wanting lifeguard training will be offered.

Registration for the other spring break swim classes opens on March 31. Session 1 classes offers registration for currently enrolled swimmers first beginning next week; registration will be available to Mountlake Terrace residents currently not participating in Pavilion swim classes on April 9 and to all on April 10.

The Pavilion’s April Pools Day on April 12 will feature demonstrations and activities that promote water and boating safety, prizes and drawings, and a one-hour free public swim.
