## About

Fish Tales is the Arnold Recreation Center's monthly morning for young children: it starts with a story time and a craft in the center's Party Room, then families head to the indoor pool for open swimming until noon. It is a good fit for preschoolers and toddlers who are comfortable in the water with a parent, and it turns a cold November Friday into a pool day. Rec Center members attend free, non-members pay a small fee, and children 4 and under are free. Space is limited, so register by phone before you come, and bring swimsuits, towels and swim diapers for little ones.
