Wow!  Everest Academy has been offered an awesome opportunity by Jasper Natatorium.  It is time to get ready for the swimming season, and Jasper Natatorium has invited  Everest Academy to  four  fun-filled open swim sessions that will include a water aerobics class for mom and a water safety class for the kids.  How cool is that?   Each session will begin at 11:00 a.m. and go until whenever.  Each session will offer open swim  in the huge indoor Olympic-sized heated pool the entire session plus moms can participate (or not) in the water aerobics class from 11:00 - 11:30 a.m., and the kids can participate (or not) in Whale Tales from 12:30 - 1:30 p.m.   If you have children that do not want to swim, there is an awesome playground at the Jasper Natatorium as well.  If mom does not participate in the water aerobics or the open swim, she does not have to pay.  Participants must pay for all four sessions, so $8 will pay for four open swim sessions per person plus either four water aerobics classes for mom or four Whale Tales sessions per child.  Each participant can participate in the open swim and/or the water aerobics class (mom) or Whale Tales (children). 

Whale Tales
12:30 - 1:30 p.m.
