press release
Providing the community with multiple recreation options
COLORADO SPRINGS, CO - The Colorado Springs Recreation Center has expanded it's programming and events to better serve the Colorado Springs Community. The Recreation Center opened this past September and is ideally located only 1.5 miles from Downtown in beautiful Memorial Park. The Recreation Center now boasts a plethora of programming designed to fit the Recreation needs of all ages.
The Recreation Center is one of three City facilities the Colorado Springs Swim School (CSSS) saved from closure due to City budget cuts. As part of an agreement with the City of Colorado Springs, the Colorado Springs Swim School also took over management of Wilson Ranch Pool and Portal Pool, originally scheduled to be closed due to City budget cuts.
Youth Sports Camps - Starting with the Thanksgiving Holiday season (Nov 22-24 & 26) and continuing through the winter holidays, the Recreation Center will offer Youth Sports Camps. Youth Sports Camps, scheduled during local school holidays are an ideal alternative to Day Care. Designed to both introduce and build new sport and activity skills, children will spend a fun-filled active day with us. The camps are designed for school-aged children between 5-12 and are scheduled between 8:30am-3:30pm with options for early drop off and late pick up.
Parent's Night Out is being held the third Friday of every month and is designed to provide parents the opportunity to spend an evening out without their children. Parent's Night Out is from 5:00pm-8:30pm and children will be treated to a fun evening of sports and recreational activities under the watchful eyes of the Recreation Center Staff. The next two Parent's Night Out will be held November 19 and December 17 serving as an ideal time for some holiday shopping without the kids. Children ages 6-weeks to 12-years are welcome.
Aquatic Turkey Trot and Turkey Trot Predict - Two great events on the same day, November 20. These two events will take place in and around the Recreation Center and are fun ways to ward off those unwanted holiday pounds before the big meal. The Aquatic Turkey Trot (9:00am) will be a fun water workout taking place in the Recreation Center Pool, and the Turkey Trot Predict (10:00am) will take place outside the Recreation Center utilizing the park's trail systems.
Aquatic Fitness - Multiple aquatic fitness workouts are now being offered at the Recreation Center. From Ai Chi, to Low Impact Aquatic Exercise, and Monthly Back to Basics classes, the expertise of the Colorado Springs Swim School staff is able to meet the aquatic fitness needs of a wide range of fitness individuals.
Child Care in the PlayRoom - Starting on Monday, November 15, the Colorado Springs Recreation Center will begin offering Child Care in the PlayRoom. Child Care will be offered from 7-11am Mon-Friday and is for children 6-weeks of age and older. Call the Recreation Center at 719-385-5984 for more details.
Learn-to-Swim Lessons - The staple of the Colorado Springs Swim School, our Learn-to-Swim lessons boast the smallest student to teacher ratio (3:1 for 3-5 yr. olds and 5:1 for 6+) of any group lessons in the community. Parents learn why CSSS is a Swim School, and not just another facility offering lessons. School Holiday lessons are now available on the Swim School site at www.csswimschool.com.
Masters Swimming - Every weekday morning, the Recreation Center hosts Coached Masters Swimming workouts. The Masters Swimming workouts are designed for adult (18+) swimmers of all abilities. Workouts take place from 6:00-7:30am.
