Veterans Memorial Pool will again be the place to go and cool off on a hot summer day however you should know that in will close early with July 31st being the final swim day at that facility. That early closing allows for construction to start on the new Veterans Memorial Aquatic Center that will open in July of 2016. Don’t worry - we have provided extra indoor summer swims for you at the Signicast Family Aquatic Center in the month of August. Inside this guide are pages that acknowledge those who have generously provided their time and volunteered in the “Something for Everyone Campaign”. Also listed inside are those who have already pledged/donated to this new aquatics facility. There is still time to make a donation. If you are interested, please contact the Recreation Office.

There will be four sessions in 2015, each meets Monday through Friday for two weeks. Complete schedule can be found on page 6. SIGNICAST FAMILY AQUATIC CENTER INDOOR LESSONS – This summer, we will continue to conduct lessons at the Signicast Family Aquatic Center. There are three evening sessions, each two days a week (Monday and Wednesday) for four weeks. There is also one morning session, two days a week (Tuesday & Thursday). A complete schedule can be found to the right. The “Learn to Swim” lesson program is conducted by the AMERICAN RED CROSS CERTIFIED WATER SAFETY INSTRUCTORS and is designed to teach swimming skills and to promote and develop a positive and safe atmosphere around water. Participants must furnish their own suit and towel. If you wish to register for more than one session, please register for the level the child is currently at. Most children require taking a level more than once in order to successfully complete the requirements of the level. If your child does pass, and you have already enrolled them in that level again, please call the office immediately so we can attempt to transfer the child to the next level. If we are unable to move the child to the next level, you are welcome to re-take the class they have passed or get a complete refund. It is easier to move a child ahead if they do pass, then move them back if they do not, but it is not a guarantee. Only the parent or legal guardian can register their children. Friends, neighbors, relatives or childcare providers will not be allowed to register children other than their own. Wading Pool Use – The wading pool at Veteran’s Pool is open from 9:00 AM to 1:15 PM for kids 5 and under if accompanied by an adult. Child is $.50, Adult is $1.00 during lesson time only.

Friends, neighbors or relatives can not register for others. Payment with the completed registration form is also needed. The Recreation Office can not accept credit card numbers by phone - Master Card or Visa only. Registrations can be mailed in, put in the drop box outside the Recreation Center’s front door, done in person during office hours, or faxed in. • NON-RESIDENT FEES The Hartford Parks and Recreation Department operates by two primary financial sources - City property taxes and program/facility fees. Taxes pay for the majority of daily operations and maintenance, yearly capital projects and debts for large construction projects such as the Recreation Center. City Property Tax is paid whether or not an individual participates or uses the facilities of the Department. The non-resident fee concept is intended to apportion to non-residents an equalized fee so that they contribute to the overall financing of the Parks and Recreation Department . To clarify, a City Resident is a person who pays City of Hartford Property Taxes AND votes at the City Hall. Annual non-resident passes can be purchased to cover the cost of the non-resident fee on programs. Passes do not cover non-resident fees on memberships, daily fees or rentals. By purchasing this pass, a non-resident would pay the resident fee for programs. See the E-Z Registration Page for pass prices. • CAN I WATCH? Please do not remain in your child’s class, unless otherwise approved by the instructor. Experience has shown it is distracting to the participants and instructor. The final class may be observed by parents or other non-participants. If you wish to discuss your child’s progress with the instructor, please let the office staff know. They will have the instructor contact you. • REFUNDS/CANCELLATIONS • Department Cancels Program - Full refund will be issued.

Participants are encouraged to obtain their own insurance coverage prior to the start of the program and to consult with a physician before participating in any strenuous activity. • WAITING TO REGISTER KILLS PROGRAMS The program’s description has a Register Before date.
