In-person Classes Canceled - Wednesday, November 11, 2020

We were hoping COVID discussions would slowly vanish and not re-occur but the rise in cases and potential exposures warrants everyone to think about turning the dial backwards to ensure both staff and community safety.

The North Liberty Community Center has canceled all in-person classes until further notice. Class refunds are being processed. If you have question please contact us at 319-626-5716. Thank you.

We are planning the return of swim lessons with safety in mind. Instructors will teach from deck with some exceptions. Tadpoles, Levels 1-3 will require a parent in water with child and will be 25 minutes in length.
