ATASCADERO — The City of Atascadero is diving into summer with the launch of a brand-new Aquatics Program, approved by City Council and set to begin June 16 through August 8. Operating Monday–Friday from 12 to 4 p.m., the program will offer Open Recreation Swim, Lap Swim, Parent & Me classes, and swim lessons for Levels 1–4.

In partnership with the Atascadero High School Athletic Department, the city is also helping students earn certifications as lifeguards and swim instructors — building a skilled local team to staff the program while providing valuable summer job opportunities.

The initiative is made possible in part by Measure D-20 sales tax funding and reflects a community-supported goal to bring aquatics back to Atascadero. The city is currently hiring an Aquatics Coordinator.
