First 5 – Week of January 30, 2023

$0 REGISTRATION PROMOTION: Tuesday is this last day to take advantage of our $0 registration membership promotion! Make sure your friends and family know to stop in soon!

$10 SWIM LESSONS: Thanks to grant funding from the American Red Cross and the USA Swimming Foundation, we are able to once again offer select Kroc Center members a session of Winter 2 swim lessons for only $10! We’ve automatically qualified all Kroc members who receive discounted membership rates for this program. They all recently received an email to let them know they qualified.  Important to note: This discount only applies to Levels 1–4, plus Adult Basic and Adult Skills & Strokes, but does not apply to other aquatics programming such as parent/child or preschool lessons, water exercise classes or the Pre-Competitive Swim Clinic.

AYSO: Registration is now open for the spring season on AYSO. Registration is open until March 14 and is available online at ayso1634.org. We’re also looking for volunteer coaches and referees. Please see Jon Shaner if you’re interested in volunteering this spring. 

W2 FORMS: W2 forms for the 2022 tax year are now available in your ADP account. To find them in ADP, click the “Pay”, then scroll down to “Tax Statements.” Please see Melissa Roemer with any questions.

NEW INTERNS: The Fitness Department recently welcomed three new interns from GVSU! Austin and Sevastian will be interning here for the next few months. Be sure to stop by the fitness desk and say hi!
