If you are looking for activities to keep your children active this winter, you will want to circle December 11 on the calendar.
That is the date registration begins for all Leisure Guide winter skating and swimming lessons. The registration starts at 8 a.m.
There are more than 400 options for Learn to Skate lessons this winter. The lessons are run out of 11 locations around the city and levels range in skill from beginner to advance.
Learning to swim is an important life skill. Swimming lessons and water safety education are available for children as young as 6 months old.
Registration can be done online, in person and over the phone.
