Registration is open for two community swim programs at the Mariemont High School pool, with the first semester beginning Tuesday, Sept. 1 and running through Friday, Dec. 18.

The Mariemont City Schools Community Education program offers two lap-swim options at 1 Warrior Way, Cincinnati, OH 45227: Polar Bears, an early-morning session meeting Monday through Thursday from 5:45 to 7 a.m. and Saturday from 6:30 to 8 a.m., and Mid Morning Swim, which meets Monday through Friday from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m.

Both programs cost $40 per semester for in-district residents and $50 for out-of-district participants. No senior discounts are offered.

The programs are open to swimmers who live both inside and outside the Mariemont City Schools district, which serves approximately 1,632 students across four schools in the villages of Fairfax, Mariemont and Terrace Park, along with the unincorporated areas of Plainville and Williams Meadows. Out-of-district swimmers pay a $10 premium per semester.
