Be Ready, Mountain View

This Water Safe Wednesday, we’re focusing on preparation. Whether we’re at Eagle Park Pool or enjoying time around water at home, preparation makes a difference.

Build confidence with swim lessons
Make sure pools have proper barriers and self-latching gates
Learn CPR and basic water rescue skills

Spending time in the water together is one of the best ways to build comfort and skills. Recreation Swim is a great option for families to practice and enjoy the pool in a supervised setting.
