Water Safety Event
May 13, 2023 - June 25, 2023
With cancellations of public pool openings and reduced swim lesson capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic, many families missed opportunities to educate their families about water safety. Whether swimming in a backyard pool, lake, pond, or river, every resident should know the essentials of water safety in an effort to reduce drownings.
