About Water Safety Day...
On May 21st, Potomac Valley Swimmers and Coaches in a partnership with the District of Columbia Department of Parks and Recreation and the Navy Seals welcomed participants from various swimming abilities and ages to a Water Safety Day at the Deanwood Community Center in Washington D.C. This fun and informative event included participants and displays from the Navy Seals, DC Strokes, Tri-Unify, and Metro Harbor Police. The event taught participants basic swimming skills and water safety. All groups brought in equipment where participants had a chance to learn about Water Safety within their groups.
