Check out this local Water Safety Workshop that is FREE to families of children with special needs.
💧Did you know drowning is the leading cause of death for individuals with special needs?
Join the City of Ocala for a life-saving workshop in honor of National Water Safety Month in May. This therapeutic recreation program empowers families with critical water safety skills by teaching participants how to safely exit the water in case of a fall and develop floating and treading techniques.
In the first half of the workshop, parents and caregivers will learn essential water safety practices outside the pool. The second half brings both parents and participants into the pool with Certified Swim Instructors for hands-on water safety training, followed by free time to practice and enjoy the water together.
Important Information: Participants must attend Day One to participate in Day Two. A parent or caregiver is required to accompany the participant in the pool.
Make this summer safe and fun—don’t miss this essential workshop!
