Changes to Aquatic lesson registration These improvements include: • Adding skills as a pre-requisite to a customer’s profile in the registration system as a requirement for aquatics lessons and • Adding additional registration dates for aquatic lessons on a rolling registration. A rolling registration will provide an opportunity for participants to register for a lesson more frequently throughout the season and provide fewer breaks in learning.

Registration for aquatic lesson programs will go as follows: • Port Coquitlam residents will have access at 8 am 30 days prior to the first day of swim lessons.

• General public will have access at 8 am 27 days prior for the first day of swim lessons.
