Sessions Run All Year

Rec Swim Team will return in early 2026, after the pump room renovation project is completed. This is a fun, social, engaging program that promotes swimming as part of a healthy lifestyle, while refining stroke technique on all major competitive strokes. It is also a bridge to competitive swim clubs and swim teams!

The Summer session schedule is Monday-Thursday from 9:30am-10:30am or 5:30pm-6:30pm for those ages 8-17 years old. There is limited space, so call the pool or email pdac.customerservice@desertymca.org today!
