We'll have fun presentations, CPR education, crafts, games, bounce houses face painting, a fire truck, and prizes. Special speakers and guests include the US Coast Guard Auxiliary, American Heart Association, Sugar Land Fire Department, drowning prevention family foundations, and more!
Howey will also be hosting a raffle with over $1,000 of gift baskets (100% of raffle sales goes to Stop Drowning Now) from generous local donors! Plus, there will be music, dance-offs with Howey the Dolphin, and more kid-friendly fun than we can fit on a webpage!
As a local family-owned swim school, we've been serving the Houston area for over 60 years and leading the way towards drowning prevention for our communities. We have a passion for keeping kids (and adults!) safe in and around the water, and we're SO EXCITED to be bringing this festival to our families. As the summer approaches, you can also browse our website for helpful safety and swimming tips.
You can visit our Facebook Event Page for up-to-the-minute updates about the festival.
