AquaRec: Recreational Family Swim
Reserved warm-water swim time for families to practice, play, and build confidence together.
What Is AquaRec?
AquaRec is relaxed, recreational swim time for families with an AquaTech Customer Portal account. You do not need to be enrolled in weekly lessons to participate.
Use the time to practice skills, build water confidence, play, or simply enjoy the pool together in a calmer setting than a public swim.
AquaRec is recreational swimming—not a swim lesson. Parents and caregivers are responsible for actively supervising their swimmers throughout the visit.
Schedule & Reservations
AquaRec is available by advance reservation only. Space is intentionally limited to keep the pool comfortable, so we cannot accommodate walk-ins.
Reservations open up to seven days in advance. Because availability may change from week to week, please check the Customer Portal for current dates and times before visiting. The Customer Portal always shows the most current schedule.

Know Before You Go
How To Report An Absence & Receive A Makeup Token
To be eligible for an AquaRec makeup token, absences must be reported through the Customer Portal at least 2 hours before the start of the scheduled reservation.
When an absence is reported on time, it will be excused and a makeup token will become available in the Customer Portal the day after the missed reservation.
Absences reported less than 2 hours before the scheduled reservation, or not reported through the Customer Portal, are not eligible for a makeup token. There are no exceptions to this policy.
How to Report an Absence:
- Log in to the Customer Portal
- Navigate to "My Account"
- Find the student and click "Future Absences"
- When prompted, select "By Enrollment" - Do not select "By Date"
- Choose the correct date and enrollment
- Add an optional comment, if needed
- Click "Submit"
If your absence was reported with a minimum of 2-hour notice through the portal, a makeup token will appear on your account the next day.
Family Participation & Supervision
AquaRec is unstructured family swim time. AquaTech employees are present to manage the facility and program, but they are not providing swim instruction or replacing active supervision by a parent or caregiver.
Children under age 14 must be accompanied by a responsible adult age 18 or older who remains on-site for the entire visit.
When Does an Adult Need to Be in the Water?
An accompanying adult must be in the water when a child cannot safely participate without that support.
Our team may consider:
- the depth of the water;
- whether the swimmer can stand with their head safely above water where applicable;
- basic independent water-safety, floating, and swimming skills;
- the ability to enter and exit the pool safely; and
- whether an accompanying adult or aide can safely provide any needed personal-care or restroom assistance.
AquaTech employees do not provide personal-care or restroom-assistance services.
If our team determines that an adult needs to be in the water for a swimmer to participate safely, the adult must have a profile on the family account and a confirmed AquaRec space.
Recreational Family Swim Only
AquaRec is reserved for recreational family swim time. To preserve the purpose of the program and ensure a fair experience for all guests, swim lessons, coaching, structured training, and business-related aquatic activities are not permitted during AquaRec.
Outside swim instructors, coaches, teachers, or trainers may not use AquaRec reservations to conduct lessons or provide instruction, whether paid or unpaid, formally employed, independently contracted, or informally arranged.
