Swim Lessons at Westborough Club, Registration Opens Aug. 25

The following is an announcement from Northborough Recreation, which is letting you know swim lessons are just around the corner.

SWIM REGISTRATION
· Registration opens Monday, Aug. 25, at 9 a.m. for Northborough residents

· Registration opens Tuesday, Aug. 26, at 9 a.m., for nonresidents

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
· We encourage online registration as seats are limited and all registrations are done in real-time. Registrations dropped off in our office or mailed in will be processed with the day’s mail, which comes in the afternoon. Payment MUST accompany all registrations. No registrations can be processed over the phone.

· At this time, we are only taking registration for fall 1 classes, with future registration dates to be announced at a later date

· Correction: the brochure incorrectly advertised a level 4 swim class on Sundays. That class is actually another level 2 class.
