Summer swim lesson registration at the Webster Aquatic Center opens at 8 a.m. June 4. Some levels fill within five minutes, according to WAC.

Registration is online only, through the Webster Central School District's portal at registration.xendirect.com/webstercsd. Parents who have not already set up an account should do so before June 4. The catalog of lesson levels and times has been viewable since May 18 at websterschools.org.

For the full summer events calendar, including concerts, festivals, and the farmers' market, see our summer guide.

Below is what families need to know about the rest of Webster's summer recreation lineup: camp options, adult leagues, and the deadlines that matter.

Swim lessons at the Webster Aquatic Center

WAC, run by the school district at 875 Ridge Road, is Webster's hub for public swim instruction. The summer schedule runs on weekday mornings. Levels offered include:

  • Red Cross Levels I through VII
  • Water Babies (6 months to 3 years, with a parent or guardian in the water)
  • Tiny Tots (age 3, one-on-one)
  • Tad Poles (ages 4 to 6, three-to-one ratio)
  • Private lessons (four 30-minute sessions per week)
  • Adult lessons, including a "Feeling Safe" track for nervous beginners
  • Introduction to Diving (ages 9 and up, Level IV swim minimum)

Lesson pricing was not posted on the registration page as of this writing. For current rates, call WAC at (585) 670-1087 or check the registration portal at registration.xendirect.com/webstercsd.

The town does not appear to operate a stand-alone outdoor municipal pool; aquatics in Webster are consolidated at WAC.

Sports leagues

Adult softball is already underway. The 2026 season started the week of May 1, with three divisions: Tuesday Men's, Thursday Women's, and Thursday Co-Ed. Slow pitch, 10-game regular season plus single-elimination playoffs. $585 a team. A $25 non-refundable deposit holds a spot; the full fee is due by the first game. Contact: Traci Ruffell, truffell@websterny.gov.

The town's listings do not show a dedicated summer outdoor soccer league. The men's indoor league runs year-round on Thursday evenings and Sunday mornings, and the outdoor league is a fall program (August through October) at Kent Park.

For youth baseball and softball, Webster Athletic Association (WAA), a separate organization from town Parks & Rec, is in season now at Empire Park, D'Amico Park, and Ridge Park. Details at waabaseball.org and websteryouthsports.org.
