Grab your four-legged friend or friends and join us for a fun day of “Pups In The Pool” on Saturday, August 14 from Noon - 3:00. We will have several vendor tables for you to check out and a goodie bag filled with surprises for you and your pup after a dip in the pool!
Event proceeds will benefit the Muskingum County Family YMCA’s SAW Program (Safety Around Water). The program consists of eight 30 minute lessons with school-aged children tracking outcomes for success.
There are an estimated 320,000 annual drowning deaths worldwide.
Drowning is the 3rd leading cause of unintentional injury death worldwide, accounting for 7 percent of all injury-related deaths.
Drowning rates are highest among children 1–4 years, followed by children 5–9 years.
The Safety Around Water program uses skill-based instruction, promotes confidence, fun, and overall well-being, emphasizes safety and drowning prevention, and engages families.
