Thank You for Your Patience & Important Updates for the Season
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all our members and guests for your understanding and patience during our late-season opening. We recognize this delay has caused an inconvenience, and we truly appreciate your continued support.
As we move forward into a great season ahead, we’d also like to inform you of a few important updates regarding our aquatics offerings this season.
As of April 23rd, 2025, our marina operation has not fully opened. During this period, limited class offerings can be reserved; however, equipment rentals and the full service catalog are currently unavailable.
We are currently finalizing our summer hours and days of operation. The schedule will be shared soon. Updates regarding our full season opening will be shared on our Equipment Rental and Program and Service Updates pages.
As part of our commitment to creating a better experience for everyone, we are updating our class policies. Starting this year, all classes will need to meet a minimum number of participants at least 72 hours before they begin. If a class doesn’t reach that number, it may be canceled. This approach helps us ensure a high-quality experience for all participants and allows our team to plan effectively.
We look forward to a fantastic season with you on the water!
