On May 18, Seattle Parks and Recreation is hosting Water Safety Day at Ranier Beach Community Center and Pool supporting the Swim Seattle Initiative.

Scholarships and financial aid are awarded to cover the cost of the program.

The event takes place between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. with various activities focused around swim safety.

“The event is open to the public and will include free activities, food, music, and guest speakers, as well as a limited number of life jacket giveaways. A free family swim will also be available from 12:30 to 2 P.M.,” Seattle Parks and Recreation said.
