• Wed May 01 at 1:00 AM - Helping Hands Fundraiser

  For the fifth consecutive year, THPRD Aquatics will offer free swim lessons through the USA Swimming Foundation’s “Make a Splash” initiative.

  Our goal is to increase swim lesson participation and share water safety information throughout the community, particularly in undeserved areas.

  Funds for the lessons will be raised through the Helping Hands campaign held at all aquatic centers in May in conjunction with National Water Safety Month.

  Last year, over $4,400 was raised, which completely offset the program’s cost and allowed us to offer the "Make a Splash" program during spring break.

  Donations will be accepted at all THPRD swim centers throughout May.
