Aqua Run, the inflatable challenge course that floats on water, is returning to three Seattle Parks and Recreation (SPR) pools this fall. A fun event for ages 6 and up, the course is easist for the younger crowd, but that shouldn’t stop adults from trying and kids from challenging their parents in a race to the end!
Swim tests are required and can be done wearing a lifejacket for newer swimmers. Lifejackets are preferred for anyone getting tired.
Pre-registration is required to attend each 1-hour swim event. Cost is $8 per person, or $2 per person if you qualify for a scholarship. Please call the pools listed if you have any questions.
Sign up now, as space can be limited! This event is non-refundable.
