As the thaw of winter gives way to the promise of spring, the community of Owatonna is invited to dive into the season of renewal through organized swimming activities. The Parks and Recreation Department has announced the opening of registration for spring swimming lessons beginning March 14. All age groups are encouraged to join, making this a community-wide initiative that nurtures both skill and connection.

The West Hills Tennis and Fitness Center beckons residents with the promise of water aerobics within its buoyant, 90-degree small pool. These sessions cater to the need for low-impact exercise that serves everyone—from fitness enthusiasts to those seeking rehabilitation and social interaction.

As the water park prepares for splashes of fun and laughter, there is also a serious need for keeping safety a priority. Thus, River Springs Water Park puts out a call for lifeguards. With a deadline for certification classes set for March 18, those who relish a dynamic role in the community pool are encouraged to apply.

These programs are not merely about the pleasures of swimming; they reflect the pulse of a community poised to come together in the shared experiences of sport and safety, enhancing the essence of community living through aquatic initiative.
