Just signed my 5 year old up for this program!  How awesome that he can learn some extra swimming skills for FREE this summer!

The Athens-Clarke County Leisure Services Department announces “Kinderswim” a free summer “learn to swim” program for five year olds who live in Athens-Clarke County.

In 2015, the American Red Cross estimated that 61% of children did not know how to swim. In an attempt to make summer safer and reduce the number of non-swimmers, the Leisure Services Department offers this inaugural program providing free swim lessons that has the potential to reach hundreds of children.

There are three sessions available and classes are held on June 1 – 18, June 22-July 9, or July 13 – July 30.  Time slots include 9:00 – 9:45 a.m., 11:30 a.m., – 12:15 p.m., or 5:30 – 6:15 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Space is limited to 20-30 participants per session and online registration is required.  These programs takes place at all five of the department’s pools including Bishop Park, East Athens Community Center, Lay Park, Memorial Park, and Rocksprings Park.  The “Kinderswim” program is free of charge to all participants.  Those children completing the “Kinderswim” program will receive an ACC Leisure Services Department Pool Pass that provides free admission to all department pools and splash pads for the 2020 aquatics season.

Online registration is open now for ACC residents. All registration takes place at www.accgov.com/kinderswim by clicking on the “Aquatics” tab.

For more information, please call the ACC Leisure Services Aquatics Office at 706-613-3589, ext. 222or visit the Aquatics page at www.accgov.com/aquatics

I’m so happy to see things starting to get back to normal. What a difference a year makes! Stone Mountain Park is happy to let everyone know that they will be open daily for spring break this year and The Lasershow Spectacular is ready, too!

Located on 3,200 acres of natural beauty, Georgia’s most visited attraction is kicking off spring with its annual spring break celebration. Family-friendly attractions, exciting entertainment, outdoor recreation, and more open daily April 3 to April 11, from 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Special showings of The Lasershow Spectacular close out each action-packed day starting at 8:30 p.m. through April 10.

“Spring FUN Break is one of our popular times of the year,” said Michael Dombrowski, general manager of Stone Mountain Park. “Families from all over Atlanta and beyond are coming to Stone Mountain Park not only for the variety of attractions we offer but for the educational and natural beauty value as well. Whether they are observing the world from the top of Stone Mountain or up close on the many walking trails—seeing so many children back outside for play is a true indicator of spring.”

Returning in 2021, the outdoor “Dinosaur Explore” exhibit features 20 animatronic dinosaurs,” Triceratops meet and greets, and baby dinosaur interactions. The prehistoric creature experience is located on wooded trails where families will discover giant dinosaurs that move and roar just like their ancient ancestors. The exhibit includes favorites like the king of the dinosaurs, Tyrannosaurus rex, and a gentle, plant-eating Brachiosaurus that towers overhead nearly two stories tall. The collection also includes a three-horned Triceratops, a ferocious Allosaurus, a winged Pteranodon, and many more.

New for Spring FUN Break, the Pompeyo Family Dogs is an exciting canine show as seen on “America’s Got Talent.” This impressive act is comprised of rescue dogs of all sizes, carefully trained to their natural abilities and talents.

Stone Mountain Park’s Attractions Pass guarantees a full day for families with access to all Spring FUN Break activities plus Stone Mountain Park’s many other attractions such as the Great Locomotive Chase Adventure Golf,  Scenic Railroad, and Historic Square.

Families can stay into the night for an Atlanta tradition, the Lasershow Spectacular, showing daily during Spring Fun Break. Advanced reservations are required.

In order to provide safe outdoor entertainment, Stone Mountain Park is reducing and managing its daily attractions capacity. The park is implementing a number of safety measures based on the guidance of health officials including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and appropriate government agencies. Guests are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance. Guests are also encouraged to review important health and safety procedures at the following link before visiting park attractions: https://www.stonemountainpark.com/PlaySafe.

I recently purchase a pair of the Stride Rite Made2Play Phibian shoes for my son and they are by far one of the best pairs of shoes that he’s ever had. He can wear them in the mud, rain, dirt, grass, wherever and then we can just hose them off to clean them. They can even be worn in the pool!

Stride Rite’s Made2Play Phibian is the ultimate slip-proof wet-dry shoe for toddlers and big kids. The lightweight, ventilated shoe won’t weigh them down – ideal for practicing those butterfly kicks in the pool. Best of all, the quick dry sneakers will smell like new – not chlorine or saltwater – once washed. Sizes are available in little kids 4-10 and big kids 10.5-7!
