The CDC guidance continues that pools and hot tubs are safe at this time, this information can be found on the CDC website.

The changes Katie's Kickers is implementing starting today March 18, 2020:

All group lessons will be suspended with collectively more than 4 children as of today, March 18th at 12 pm until at least March 30th.

We will continue private and semi-private programming, please email katieskickers@gmail.com if you’re interested in moving to private programming or if you’re in a small group course and would like to modify it at this time.

We will be rearranging the schedule so that families with multiple children swim at the same time and we limit the number of families present.
