SRP’s Verano Sano event is more than just about having fun though. It is also about learning your ABCs.
"The ABCs of Water Safety like adult supervision at all times, barriers around all bodies of water and classes like CPR classes or swim classes for the kiddos," said Rori Minor, the community engagement strategist at SRP.
Arizona has the second-highest rate of drownings in the United States. This is the sixth event SRP has put on calling for a safe summer. Here, parents and kids could get CPR and mini-swimming lessons.
