About
The Swim Lesson Program offers swim lessons and group swim lessons in an indoor aquatic setting that also supports lap swimming, aquatic fitness programs, and family recreation. The program takes place in a facility that includes two indoor pools, including a 25-meter, 6-lane Main Pool used for swim lessons, lap swimming, aquatic fitness, and family recreation, and a warm, shallow Junior Pool for young swimmers and beginners. The aquatic facility also includes a hot tub, sauna, locker rooms with showers, and a party room with games that can be used for pool parties and inflatable parties connected to the broader set of programs.

Thorbeckes Athletic Club was founded by Dale Pullin and, as of the 2018 rebrand, ownership is described as Matt and Andrea Noren. The organization states its mission as “Providing opportunities, resources, and facilities that foster health, wellness, and activity throughout the communities we serve.” Thorbeckes also operates the Centralia Community Pool through a partnership with the Centralia School District and the City of Centralia, and runs Thorbeckes Healthy Beginnings, a nonprofit promoting youth fitness through initiatives like Captain Thorbeckes, the Superhero of Health. One parent testimonial about Thorbeckes notes that “Thorbeckes fitness offers everything necessary for a person to get in shape and stay in shape. The staff is helpful and friendly. With a variety of classes offered it’s not possible to get bored with your workouts. Sauna and steam rooms are available.”
