(WASHINGTON, DC) – Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser and the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) are reminding residents that registration for DPR’s 2023 winter programming will begin on Wednesday, November 1 for aquatics programs and Thursday, November 2 for all other programs. Registration opens at noon on both days.
 
DPR programs offered this winter include: 

• Aquatics programs including learn-to-swim, aquatic fitness, water polo, and lifeguard training.
