We've all been there. Sitting in front of the computer screen, waiting anxiously for the clock to strike the hour. It's like the wild, wild west...only the quickest draws will survive. Who knew that registering for poxy swimming lessons could be so effing stressful?
In my neck of the woods, the lessons at Hillcrest Community Centre fill up ridiculously fast. I get it. The facilities at Hillcrest are amazing. When I go there I actually feel like I'm at a posh club, albeit without the snobs and high price tag. Nevertheless, because of its popularity, getting your kid into swimming lessons at our local pool is not an easy task. Knowing the dilemma parents face, the City of Vancouver has come up with some tips for registering for swimming lessons... Mark your calendars, people. Online registration begins November 26th at 9 a.m..
