Riverbank Parks and Recreation Department has already begun offering swim lessons to residents, just in time to cope with the 100-plus degree temperatures we’ve been having lately.

The Riverbank Community Pool is located at the corner of Seventh and Stanislaus streets. It officially opened for recreational swimming on June 1. Hours are Monday through Friday, 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., Saturdays 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Recreational Swim Drop-in daily fee is $3, Individual Swim Pass is $30 for the season, and Family of Four is $85, with $10 for each family member added.

The swimming lessons are offered in two-week sessions, each day Monday through Thursday. Sessions began on June 3, with the next session scheduled from June 17 through 27. Third session runs July 8 to 18, followed by a session July 22 to Aug. 1, and closing out the summer from Aug. 5 through 15.

Instructors test on the first day of class to confirm each child’s level. They note that registration is required and early registration is highly recommended as classes fill up. A refund is available if cancellation is at least three days prior to the start of the class.

Sessions are organized by age and experience.
