Swim Free Sunday Afternoon

 

The Lake Havasu City Parks and Recreation Department and the Arizona Physicians Independent Providers Association have joined forces to keep Lake Havasu City children safe in and around the water this summer.  The physicians’ organization provided a grant to enable the first 100 children who visit the Aquatic Center on Sundays to swim free in a safe, supervised environment.

 

“Thanks to this organization, the first 100 children attending open swim on Sundays get in free,” said Swan Cooke, Management Specialist for the Aquatic Center.  “But this Sunday, everyone gets in free and the AZIPA will be here with giveaways and prizes to make it even more fun.”

 

Cooke said this Sunday’s free swim event will take place from noon until 4 p.m. and the whole family is invited.  This event is to celebrate the success of the Summer Sunday Swim Free program.

 

The Aquatic Center offers a variety of levels of swim lessons for children of all ages all year long.  Swan Cooke may be reached at the Aquatic Center 453-8686.
