LPRD is starting the New Year by offering a variety of aquatics classes, including Deeply Fit, a deep-water fitness class designed for swimmers of all levels.
Deeply Fit is designed to challenge the body and muscles for a strong core. Participants without swimming skills need not worry; this class requires a flotation belt (provided) so no prior skills are necessary.
Face masks must be worn at all times in all City facilities except when in the pool. LPRD is following COVID-19 safety guidelines, which can be found at https://assets.lawrenceks.org/lprd/covid/aquaticsprotocols.pdf.
Conditions will be continuously monitored and reviewed in consultation with public health professionals. Status updates will continue to be updated every Thursday to indicate the current risk level using green, yellow, orange or red based on the number of new cases, trends and percentage of positive COVID-19 test to mirror Lawrence-Douglas County Health’s recommendations being used for the Smart and Safe School Reopening Guidelines and Status for county schools. Individuals may find the current status by visiting the department website or the department social media platforms, Twitter and Facebook.
