In partnership with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, the Dr. P. Phillips YMCA Family Center hosted families from the Southwest Orange community for its Summer Safety Splash event June 7.
The community pool party — which featured a live deejay, a variety of local vendors, free snacks and activities — is a fun summer event put on in an effort to help keep kids safe. Along with the family fun event-goers learned tips focused on swimming and overall safety during the summer from experts.
Another summer safety feature of this event was the chance to participate in free swimming assessments, provided by the YMCA staff to help make sure families are confident and safe around water this summer.
