New memberships – You will be able to purchase memberships from the high school to use during open swim; they will offer day passes as well as monthly memberships. They are working to become a SilverSneakers official partner.
Open swim hours – Alma High School plans to offer open swim times similar to what the college has offered in the past during the school year. They also plan to host water aerobics during the morning swim session.
