Swimming Lesson Registration

In the land of 10,000 lakes, cost should never be a barrier to water safety skills. That's why summer youth swimming lessons will now be offered free of charge! Please note, youth lessons are open to Saint Paul residents only. 

2025 Summer Swimming lesson registration opens April 1 at 9am. Happy April Pools Day!

As is the case with previous years, our staff, with the support of community partners, will be conducting targeted outreach to enroll youth who experience barriers to participation, especially related to water safety education and recreation.

Open Swim Hours

Youth under the age of 12 must always be accompanied by an adult. A parent or guardian must check-in with an aquatics supervisor each time a youth ages 12-14 intends to stay at the facility without a parent or guardian. Please note, swimmers must exit the water 15 minutes before closing time to allow for time to shower, change and gather belongings prior to facility closure. 

About Tot Time

Tot Time is a time just for kids ages 6 and under and the adults that love them! This designated time for our youngest swimmers. Only the children's activity pool will be open for Tot Time swimming. Cost is $5 per child and $5 for the accompanying adult. If you plan to stay for open swim after tot swim ends, you have the option to pay for the open swim admission fees at the time of tot swim entry. Your party will receive wristbands identifying they can stay inside the facility during the break between tot swim and open swim, but everyone must exit the water for the entire break.

Group Reservations

Saint Paul Parks and Recreation will begin taking requests for group reservations at Como Regional Park Pool and Highland Park Aquatic Center on June 4, 2025. Please review the following guidelines for group reservations:

• Advance group reservations will only be accepted if the requested reservation meets facility capacity projections for the requested date(s).
• Reservations requests will only be accepted a maximum of one week in advance.
• Payment must be made in full at the time of arrival. Note: no refunds will be issued unless it is the result of a weather or facility related closure.  
• Groups must arrive by 12 noon to ensure immediate entry to the facility. Entry for groups arriving after the facility has opened is determined by occupancy and subject to the determination of the Aquatic Facility Supervisor onsite. Our goal is to maximize use of public infrastructure and we are unable to hold occupancy (to have others wait outside for entry) while we wait on the potential arrival of your group.
• Groups should exit the facility at 3pm, at the start of safety break. Departures at 3pm allow increased occupancy to resume for public admission. 

These policies are in response to record demand and usage of our aquatic facilities, balancing the equitable usage of public infrastructure, and ensuring that payment for services is collected.

To request a group reservation, please call Como at 651-489-0378 or Highland at 651-695-3773, and ask to speak with an aquatic supervisor. 

Group Reservation Requirements and Expectations

Groups must check-in with aquatic’s leadership at arrival for a water safety overview.

At arrival, all visiting groups check-in and attend a Water Safety Orientation including an overview of the facility and rules/regulations. 

Constant and active supervision should be maintained when any child is in or around water. During any swimming/wading/water play activities where either an infant or a toddler is present, the ratio should always be one adult to one infant/toddler. The required ratio of staff to older children should be met without including the staff who are required for supervision of infants and/or toddlers. Whenever children thirteen months and up to five years of age are in or around water, the supervising staff should be within an arm’s length providing “touch supervision”. The attention of staff supervising children of any age should be focused on the child, and the staff should never be engaged in other distracting activities, such as talking on the telephone, listening to music, or reading.
