We are so excited to be partnering with Seattle Parks & Rec and Afroswimmers to bring the OSS Open Swim to the Rainier Beach Pool! This new offering is geared towards BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, POC) beginner swimmers to practice your skills and improve your water comfort, and for advanced swimmers to have a safer space to swim in community!  Please note, men and white allies are welcome to join! Come enjoy music, and the magic of playing in water with community. Former Oshun Swim School students as well as new community members are welcome so bring a friend and come practice your breath work, strokes, or just vibe and float!

-There are showers and gendered locker rooms, as well as private all gender changing rooms

-Open Swim will be lifeguarded and we'll come together for an opening circle and closing circle (no swimskill instruction is offered)
