Kick off summer in the pool with the Irvine Super Swim Lesson Friday, June 27, at William Woollett Jr. Aquatics Center. Adults and children of all swimming abilities are invited to participate for free in Irvine’s largest group swim lesson in an effort to raise awareness for drowning prevention.
Arrive at William Woollett Jr. Aquatics Center at 5:30 p.m. to sign up for the on-site swimming lesson, which will start at 6 p.m. Then, stay for a free recreation swim, activities, games, and a screening of the movie Moana 2 at dusk.
Families can bring floaties to the event and exchange them for a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket through the City’s Floatie Exchange program, a new initiative supporting ongoing efforts to ensure a water-safe summer. Life jackets are available for children ages 6 and younger while supplies last.
The Irvine Super Swim Lesson is open to ages 3 and older. Lifeguards will be on duty at the event, and an adult must accompany children 6 and younger one-on-one in the water. Learn more at cityofirvine.org/superswim.
William Woollett Jr. Aquatics Center is located at 4601 Walnut Ave., Irvine. For more information, call 949-724-6717 or visit cityofirvine.org/aquatics.
