Open Memorial Day through Labor Day, North Shore Aquatic Center features a pool, waterslides, swim lessons, and other water-related diversions to stoke family-friendly fun all summer long. In the center of a shallow pool, a brightly colored jungle gym invites young hydrophiles to unleash their inner amphibians on its slides and spraying fountains. Elsewhere, a sinuous powder-blue standalone slide whisks giggling riders along its curves and bends before jettisoning them out into the pool, while both high and low diving boards test courage and cannonball splash trajectories. North Shore also holds lifeguard classes, a variety of water exercise and fitness programs which impart the basics of paddling and mermaid sign language.
