Each member of the family must have an ID card to swim, and at least one adult in a family must register in order for children from that family to register.

Start by filling out the pre-registration form, once for each family member, parent first. Print your form and bring it along to one of the photo ID Card sessions to get your photo ID card quickly. ID cards will be issued starting April 23.
