The Springfield Park District offers a diverse range of aquatics programming designed for all ages and skill levels. From swim lessons that build confidence and water safety skills to open swim sessions for family fun, our pools provide a welcoming environment for recreation and learning. Competitive swimmers can take advantage of swim teams and training opportunities, while water aerobics and fitness classes cater to those looking for low-impact exercise.
