Centennial Beach will operate 9:00am-7:00pm, daily, starting June 14th

How will I know if Swim Lessons are canceled?
6/1/2021 - Unfortunately, at this time we do not have the staff necessary to run lessons, so lessons are not being scheduled at this time. If we are able to secure staff over the next few weeks this will change. 

All swim lessons take place RAIN or SHINE.  We will only cancel due to extreme inclement weather such as thunder and lightning.  The decision to cancel swim lessons is made on an hourly basis and done so by our Waterfront staff.  We recommend that all participants go to the Beach at the time of their lesson to find out whether or not a class has been canceled.  Because lessons take place on an hourly basis, the Recreation Office (in most cases)will not have up to date information on potential cancellations.

How do I get to Centennial Beach
