The North Olympic Library System has partnered with the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center in Sequim to make two free passes available for checkout beginning Nov. 3. Whether alone or with the entire family, SARC passes give library card holders a free, fun and easy way to test the waters and stay active.

Two passes means borrowers have two ways to enjoy SARC. One pass is for individuals who’d like to try one of the many fitness classes offered at SARC — from Tai Chi to water aerobics. The second pass grants up to six household members access to workout, cardio and weight rooms, in addition to open swim and family fun night. Patrons may borrow each pass for up to one week.

Passes are valid only at SARC; there are also passes available for the William Shore Pool in Port Angeles. Neither pass includes swimming lessons.

To place a hold request, visit www.nols.org and use the online catalog to search for “SARC Pool Pass.” Hold requests also may be made by calling the library or visiting any library in Clallam County.

For more information about the pool, visit www.sarcfitness.com  or follow the pool on Facebook and Twitter. The pool offers lap swim and open swim sessions, family fun nights, aerobics classes, and occasional special events.

For more information about NOLS pool passes and other nontraditional events, call Technical Services Manager Erin Shield at 417-8500 ext. 7724.
