Free Family Event Offers Life-Saving Tips, Live Demos and Activities!
Did you know drowning remains a leading cause of accidental death among young children nationwide? The City of Santa Clarita is reinforcing the importance of water safety through a free, community-focused event.
Water Safety Day will take place on Saturday, May 2, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Santa Clarita Aquatic Center, presented by Kaiser Permanente. The event is open to all ages and is designed to provide hands-on experience and practical safety knowledge for families.
Guests can participate in interactive stations focused on drowning prevention, emergency response and safe behavior around water. City lifeguards will lead live rescue demonstrations, offering insight into real-life emergency situations, while safety experts will guide attendees through essential skills such as hands-only CPR and how to properly call 9-1-1.
Local partners will also be on site, including the Los Angeles County Fire Department and the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station, sharing safety information and displaying specialized equipment used in emergency response.
In addition, Kaiser Permanente will provide tips on sun safety, helping families stay protected during the warmer months.
Attendees visiting each activity station can complete a stamp card and receive a free family pass for recreational swim at the Aquatic Center.
Water Safety Day supports the City’s ongoing efforts to promote community well-being by equipping residents with simple, life-saving skills. The event serves as an important reminder of the role prevention and education play in keeping families safe. For more information, visit SantaClarita.gov/Aquatics.
