DPCA LEADS LARGEST WATER SAFETY EVENT OF THE YEAR

FREE FAMILY FRIENDLY EVENT AT TAPATIO CLIFFS

PRESENTING SPONSOR

 

On June 1, the Drowning Prevention Coalition of Arizona, SRP, and water safety advocates will come together for a public family-friendly event designed to educate the community about drowning prevention.

 

“Tapping into Water Safety” is celebrating its 25^th year at the Tapatio Cliffs Resort. This free event is held annually to bring the community together for a one-stop-shop for education and information.

 

“While this location is amazing and fun for families to enjoy, we hope that the takeaway is that we need to be vigilant around all bodies of water,” says DPCA President Jay Arthur. “The relentless number of drownings already this year underscores that importance. We can’t let up our vigilance and we must take action to reduce risks around water.”

 

Attendees will enjoy free access to the resort pool.  Raffles prizes will be awarded throughout the morning.

 

Expected features:

• Local mascots and celebrities & interactive events
• Water safety activity booths featuring safety agencies throughout the valley
• Realistic water rescue demonstration
• CPR demonstrations

 

WHEN: Saturday, June 1, 2024 - 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

  

WHERE: Hilton Phoenix, Tapatio Cliffs Resort, 11111 N 7^th St, Phoenix, AZ 85020
