Click the “PROGRAMS” tab you can use the filter options to narrow down your search or select “All” to browse the variety of programming.  In order to view the details of the programming click the blue class title. You will then be brought to the description of the class. In the top right corner of the description box, you will see “Fees” and “Schedule”. 

“Fees”: Most programs run approximately six to twelve weeks; we refer to these as ‘Sessions’. Depending on the program and its structure you may have the option to register for the first or last half of a session. Half sessions are offered for those who aren’t sure they want to commit to the full length of a program or have obligations that interfere with the full length of the program. Make sure you review the “Schedule” portion of the program to coordinate the dates with your personal schedule. Please note that all card purchases add a 2.5% fee to the final cost of the program. If you would like to avoid that fee you can register and pay in person with cash or a check made out to “The City of Shelton”.

“Schedule”: Please regularly review the schedule of the program you are interested in. The Community Center will be closed for government holidays and this can affect the scheduling of programs. Instructors also create their schedules and may skip weeks for personal obligations. If classes were to be cancelled by the Community Center or Instructor, a makeup class will be added to the end of the session. We will not be able to accommodate reschedules for individuals who miss class. 

MEMBERSHIPS

Click the “MEMBERSHIPS” tab at the top of this page. You can either filter the membership or view them all together by clicking “All”. There are NO COMBINED MEMBERSHIPS. If you are interested in multiple facility memberships, they will all have to be added to your cart. Once a membership is purchased online you can pick up your membership card in the main office on your first visit. All memberships begin on the date of purchase. The yearly memberships will be active for a full 365 days from the date of enrollment.

“Fees”: Pricing for memberships is affected by residency and age. Along with new pricing, new discounts will be offered at the start of 2025. The new discounts include Veterans and Active Military. The Corresponding document verification is necessary for the adjusted pricing.

“Forms”: Please review all forms during the registration process. There are important files that outline the facility rules, regulations, and various policies. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the main office at 203-925-8422. False submissions will result in deactivation of your membership and forfeiture of the initial fee. 

Pool Rule Updated 6-21-24

Per the Shelton Parks and Recreation Commission, the pool rule for supervision of children under the age of 12 has been amended to the following:

1) Children under 12 years of age must be accompanied into the water and supervised by an adult at least 18 years old.

 a)       Adults may supervise no more than 2 children under 12 per adult.  Any adult accompanying a child must be no more than one arm’s length away from the child while in the pool.  Adults must be in the water and cannot sit/stand on the side or stairs.

 b)       Any child in a floatation device must stay in the shallow end of the pool.  Children must sit out of the pool on a bench if adult leaves the pool for any reason. Children are not allowed to wait on the stairs.

 c)       Lifeguards may limit anyone to the shallow end if the individual is a non-swimmer. (To be counted as a “swimmer” children must be able to complete the American Red Cross Water Competency test, completing the skills easily on command.) 

 d)      Water Competency Test : Jump into deep water from the side, recover to the surface, maintain position by treading or floating for 1 minute, rotate 1 full turn then turn as necessary to orient to the exit point, level off, swim front crawl and/or elementary backstroke for 25 yards, then exit the water.
