Rec Rush

Every Toronto parent knows the feeling: registration opened at 7 a.m., you logged in at 7:02, and the swim lesson you wanted is already full. Rec Rush is the app for what happens next. Spots open up all the time — someone's schedule changes, a family cancels, the city adds capacity. The parents who get those spots are the ones who happen to check at the right moment. Rec Rush does the checking for you. FIND Search Toronto's recreation programs with fast, useful filters — category, age, day of the week, and a "has openings" toggle. Swim lessons, camps, skating, sports, arts and more. WATCH Found the perfect program but it's full or waitlisted? Set a watch. We check the city's public availability every few minutes, around the clock. GET THE ALERT The moment a spot opens, you get a time-sensitive push notification with a direct link to the official City of Toronto registration page. You register there, on the city's site, the same way you always have — just minutes after the spot appeared instead of days. BE READY FOR REGISTRATION DAY The Dates tab tracks upcoming registration openings with countdowns, optional reminders, and a short prep checklist so you're not scrambling at 6:55 a.m. WHAT REC RUSH DOESN'T DO We think you should know exactly how this works. Rec Rush checks the same public program listings anyone can see in a browser — politely and within limits. It never registers on your behalf, never asks for your city account, and never collects your kids' personal information. No account, no sign-up: pick your city, allow notifications, and you're searching within seconds. During early access, every user gets one active watch at a time, free. Rec Rush is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the City of Toronto. Program information comes from the city's publicly available listings.
