May is National Water Safety Month — aka, the perfect time to teach your kids how to stay safe around water.
Drowning can happen almost anywhere with standing water (think: bathtubs and pools), so it’s important for your child to feel confident in all water situations.
Join the YMCA of Greenville on Saturday, May 31 for SPLASH Day, a free community event that teaches kids ages 3-12 essential water safety skills and the basics of swimming.
This event is open to everyone (no membership needed) and will be held at multiple YMCA locations across Greenville County.
The lessons are fun and hands-on, teaching kids how to stay close to an adult, check the depth before jumping in, and understand the importance of learning to swim.
Pro tip: Spots are limited, so be sure to sign up ASAP.
