Lititz recCenter has announced spring programs for people of all ages. Activities will run from Monday, March 1, through June.

Many programs are returning after cancellations in the spring of 2020, and a few new programs are being introduced. Youth sports include advanced basketball, indoor soccer, volleyball, and tennis. Roller and street hockey will be introduced at the outdoor rinks at Rothsville Park.

Martial arts activities have expanded to include instruction in karate, Tae Kwon Do, and both beginner and intermediate fencing. These programs are open to both youths and adults.

Aquatic programs are hosted in two indoor pools at Lititz recCenter, including nine levels of youth swim lessons and precompetitive advanced swim instruction for youths interested in competitive swimming opportunities. A new Splash Pool Egg Hunt will include swim lesson students on Sunday, April 11.

Each week, a dozen aquatic fitness classes will be offered, ranging from high intensity to calming Water Tai Chi. A new Aqua Mix dance class will be offered on Thursdays at 8 a.m., and a weekly Office of Aging Senior Water Exercise class will be free to the community on Wednesdays at 10:45 a.m.

In preparation for a return to local golf courses, a Golf Conditioning program will be available on Saturday mornings for men and women. More than 100 group fitness classes with a combination of live and virtual instructors will be offered in socially distanced fitness studios this spring. Classes will feature a wide range of focuses and intensities, with a dozen or more ideal for active older adults.

For more relaxed recreation, Art Escape is a new painting class with local artist Kirsten Sherick slated for Monday afternoons or Friday evenings. People of all experience levels are welcome to register.
