To prepare for summer, the Santa Clarita Aquatic Center has teamed up with the Los Angeles County Fire Department to teach water safety to Santa Clarita residents.

It only takes 20 seconds for a child to drown, and 60 seconds for an adult. Please join us to learn how to stay water safe this summer.

Because drowning remains the leading cause of death in children under the age of four, Los Angeles County firefighters are partnering with the city of Santa Clarita, Academy Swim Club, Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital, Walmart, Stew Leonard III Children’s Charities, UL, In-N-Out Burger, and a host of others to present this lifesaving educational opportunity for residents.

The event will take place at the Aquatic Center on Saturday, May 21 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
