Lift some weights, go for a swim, take an exercise class or just splash around! The North Olympic Library System has partnered with Forks Athletic & Aquatic Club, 91 Maple Ave., in Forks to make two free passes available for checkout beginning Jan. 5. These passes give library card holders a free, fun and easy way to test the waters and stay active.

How to use your pool pass

Two passes means borrowers have two ways to enjoy FAAC. One pass is for individuals who’d like to try the pool — it provides access for one to the pool during Family Swim time. The second pass grants an individual access to the entire facility: pool, cardio and weight rooms, in addition to the many fitness classes offered at FAAC — from Zumba to kick-boxing to spin classes to water aerobics.

Patrons may borrow each pass for up to one week. FAAC passes are valid only at the Forks Athletic & Aquatic Club in Forks; there also are passes available for the William Shore Pool in Port Angeles and the Sequim Aquatic Recreation Center. Passes do not include swimming lessons.

Reserving your pass and additional information

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

NOLS pool passes have been generously donated by the Forks Athletic & Aquatic Club. For more information about the facility, including hours of operation, pool and class schedules, visit http://forksfitness.com or follow FAAC on Facebook.
