This Saturday, 9/19 from 1-3 PM, we will be hosting Canoe Battleship at the Whitewater Aquatic and Fitness Center! Never played Canoe Battleship? It is a family friendly, fun event where teams in two separate canoes try to sink the opposing canoe. Team members can utilize buckets, kickboards, and other equipment to splash water towards their opponent or block incoming water in their attempts to stay afloat. The event is $10 per team! Recommended team size is 3-4 people. The event will be taking place in the lap pool. Canoes will be provided. Children age five and under should be accompanied by an adult in the canoe. Register in person at the WAFC front desk or online at https://secure.rec1.com/WI/whitewater-wi/catalog by selecting the ‘Special Events’ tab and looking under ‘WAFC Special Events’ for Canoe Battleship. 

Spectators who are strictly watching and not entering the water do not need to pay an admission fee. If you wish to swim however and have not paid to be part of the event, then daily admission applies: $5 for kids 3-12, and then $8 for residents 13+ and $10 for non-residents 13+.
