Frequently Asked Questions

I looked at the level placement and I'm still not sure what the level to register for: email aquatics@pdx.edu and our Swim Lesson coordinator will get back to you.

Why is it saying “active membership” required when I am a member: To register your youth, please ensure they are attached to your account first. To add a youth, you will need to come in person to our front desk and attach them to your account. Youth memberships and waivers must be renewed annually in person at the Rec Center.

Adult Swim Clinics

Participants receive specialized instruction on swim strokes in a small group setting. Register at Member Services by the registration deadline.
