Family Swim & Gym

Family Swim


Family swim time is offered at various times throughout the week in the 4-lane pool. Families can also swim together during open swim times. No registration or additional fees apply; simply check the current 4-lane pool schedule and we’ll see you there.

Family Fun Gym (FFG)


The Sebring-Lewis Center gym is open for play time for the little ones on our padded play equipment. No registration is required; just bring your small children during the times marked “FFG” on the current gym schedule and have a ball!

Parent/Toddler Play-Time


Register - Parents and/or caregivers can spend time together with their children having fun on our play equipment and joining in games and songs. It’s a good way for the little ones to practice socialization with other children as they develop motor skills.

Swim and Gym


Register Parent/Toddler Swim and Gym - Free play on our padded play equipment in the gym, followed by a parent/child swim lesson where your child can get used to the water with you alongside.

Register Preschool Gym & Swim - When your child is a little bigger, you can bring her to this  drop-off class combination of a  swim lesson followed by supervised play in our gym playground (and maybe get a workout in yourself, or a little down time).

Family Locker Room


Families with small children of any age, regardless of gender, can use our family locker room. Inside you’ll find locker-lined walls (be sure to bring a lock) and private changing rooms complete with a shower, toilet facilities and changing table, for parents or guardians and their children, and people with disabilities
