DPR will once again participate in SwimJitsu, an annual nationwide event presented by USA Swimming. SwimJitsu is designed to introduce new swimmers and their parents to fun. The event includes challenging ninja-themed inflatables (in the spirit of Wipeout or American Ninja Warrior). Each competitor will race against the clock to complete the ultimate aquatic obstacle course using all their speed, endurance, and swimming skills to gain the rank of Grand Master Swimja. 

Registration is required

Mayor Muriel Bowser and the DC Department of Parks & Recreation (DPR) invites you to the official opening of our outdoor pools across the city!  Join us for this fun, exciting kickoff event!!!

All participants are asked to register in advance.
