Experience has shown that children are easily distracted. Observation is allowed from designated areas only. At some facilities, clear observation may not be possible. Observation is not possible at the MLK pool. Class fee covers only the lessons and no other use of the facility. Participants may enter the locker rooms ten minutes before the start of class. Lesson questions should be directed to the facility where you wish to enroll. For a detailed list of skills taught in each class, please inquire at the pool where you will be taking lessons.

Read course descriptions carefully and select the level at which the student has mastered all prerequisite skills. Review the Guidelines for Placement in Swim Classes on the following page. If you are unsure of the student’s level or ability, evaluations are available at each indoor facility for one hour after the last lesson every Saturday and Sunday. All other times are by appointment. Registrations will not be accepted after the first lesson. There are no transfers. If you have enrolled in the incorrect level, you will be withdrawn and withdrawal fees will apply.

Aquatics Lesson Inclement Weather Policy When an indoor lesson is canceled due to inclement weather, a practice pass will be given to each participant at the end of the session. Practice passes can be used for admission to a recreational swim session at any Montgomery County Recreation aquatic center. Practice passes expire six months from the date of issue and are valid for one adult and one child. When two or more lessons are canceled due to inclement weather, a pro-rated credit will be issued to the payer’s ActiveMONTGOMERY account at the end of the session. The credit issued will be for the cost of the canceled lesson(s). The credit can be applied to future aquatics lessons or any other Montgomery County Recreation program.

Please check each pool's listings for lesson schedule changes due to facility conflicts. Lessons will be held on all other days the facility is open.

Using Mindfulness to Increase Happiness

Ages 18 & Up: For most of us, happiness is dependent on outside conditions. We suffer from the if only disease and never have enough to be satisfied. Possessions, jobs or relationships - we’re always looking for the next big thing that will finally make us happy. Eventually we realize that approach doesn’t work. Mindfulness meditation gives us tools to create a lasting happiness that doesn’t rely on others. We’ll explore how clinging to our attitudes and possessions create dissatisfaction, and how loving kindness, generosity and gratitude can help change your outlook on life.

Information & Registration

I’m excited to present Montgomery Parks’ Spring programs. Within these pages you’ll find a variety of activities for all ages and interests including nature programs, guided hikes, history lectures, story times, indoor and outdoor sports, and special seasonal events. Mark your calendars for April 22, as one of our most popular events returns - Brookside Gardens’ Wings of Fancy Live Butterfly and Caterpillar exhibit. Springtime also brings the reopening of the Cabin John Miniature Train and the Wheaton Miniature Train and Carousel. We will have many opportunities for you to celebrate Earth Month throughout April. I encourage you to consider attending Montgomery County’s Greenfest at Brookside Gardens on April 19, or volunteering at a park clean up or trail workday.

Spring is the best time to get out in the many gardens in our parks. Our Nature Centers, Botanic Gardens and Historic Sites all have gardens that need that extra TLC you can provide!

Claudio Vazquez, co-owner of Izel Plants (www. izelplants.com) Gardening with native plants has evolved from being part of a subculture to becoming part of a greater movement for a more sustainable future. But, with so much information available now, focusing on a wide range of concerns such as the definition of “native,” genetic diversity, plant provenance, wildlife and overall environmental impact, how does one find the right plants to meet one’s individual needs? How do we garden for different types of pollinators and distinguish their importance for our local ecosystems? This workshop will address these questions and help you come up with a plant list that meets the specific aesthetics, resilience and maintenance requirements for your garden. You’ll also be equipped with the necessary resources to locate these native plants from online and local nurseries. A selection of native plants will be available for purchase during the workshop. IzelPlants.com is a marketplace for plants native to the contiguous US. It is the brainchild of co-founders Claudio Vazquez and Amanda McClean, two photographers with backgrounds in advertising and marketing. Both are avid gardeners, who were frustrated with the difficulties they encountered trying to find reliable native plant information and user-friendly websites for their

purchases. Their database is a Mid-Atlantic resource for detailed plant information, including species characteristics, descriptions, cultivation guidelines, county level maps of recorded native range, and more. Ages: 18 & up Fee: $25 FOBG: $22 Course: #79481 • Saturday, Apr. 18 • 10-11:30 am
