(WASHINGTON, DC) - Today, Mayor Muriel Bowser and DC Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) are reminding residents that registration for DPR's 2024 winter programming will begin on Wednesday, November 6 for aquatics programs and Thursday, November 7 for all other programs. Registration opens at noon on both days.

DPR programs opening registration include:

  • Aquatics programs including learn-to-swim, aquatic fitness, competitive swimming, and senior aquatics.
  • Team and individual sports: basketball, soccer, gymnastics, tennis, pickleball, and more.

  • Senior-centered programs including senior aquatics, day programs, and overall fitness.

Registration for winter programming is available on a first-come, first-served basis, and DPR will utilize a virtual "waiting room" on both program registration days in order to manage the high demand for programs. 

DPR Winter Program registration opens:

  • Noon on Wednesday, November 6, for aquatics programs ONLY.
  • Noon on Thursday, November 7, for all other winter programs.
