   Swimming is a great way to stay fit!
   That is why Chandler reserves at least one lane 
   at each pool for lap swimming during our public
   swimming hours. And the water is heated!
   
   The City of Chandler encourages fitness through
   swimming. The intent of this program is to provide
  
an adult lap swim fitness program. However,
   circumstance may allow some youth and teens to
   participate. All children under the age of 15 will be
   asked to complete a 500 yard continuous (no
   stopping) swim test and have a swimming ability
   equivalent to the American Red Cross Level VI or
   the City of Chandler’s Marlin’s level. 

   We also offer year-round lap swimming in
   the early mornings and the evenings at select
   facilities (at right).
   
   

  Training Assistance:
   If you would like to build endurance, work on
   the form or speed of your stroke, or you are
   training for a triathlon, please ask the staff member
   on deck to help reach your goal. They can assist
   you with a specific workout (from beginner to
   advanced) to suit your needs.
