Aquatic Center Construction Project
There has been more progress this week. Please follow us through this exciting new project as we continue to grow and expand our aquatics programming over this next season and beyond.
Instructor led programming is very common at aquatic centers. Shallow water, deep water and therapeutic based programming can be found on the schedules. Most instructors teach from the deck so their students in the water are able to see and hear what is being taught.
Please click below to get to the Palm Desert Aquatic Center website to see a few sample videos of shallow water classes being taught from the deck.
Activities Calendar
All current activities are volunteer lead.
Please contact the activity lead with questions.

Please wear a mask and ask group leaders for the safety rules of your activity.
