Part of Healthy Kids Day — Free and open to the public!
The Minot Family YMCA is making a splash with a fun and educational afternoon for families! Join us for Franklin’s Water Safety Splash Event, part of the YMCA’s nationwide water safety initiative and Healthy Kid's Day. This year Healthy Kids Day is national sponsored by Peanuts so our Water Safety Splash is named after one of the beloved Peanuts characters!
Sponsored by the Golden K Kiwanis group, this engaging event introduces water safety skills in a fun, approachable way for kids and their families — and it’s completely free.
Whether your child is brand new to the water or already a confident swimmer, this event is the perfect way to build essential safety skills that last a lifetime.
💦 What to Expect
Families can stop by the YMCA Water Safety booth at Healthy Kids Day between 10 AM and 1:15 PM to sign up for a time slot. When it’s your turn:
Kids ages 4–14 will take part in a 25-minute in-pool safety session, learning how to float, move, and respond in water emergencies. Don't forget their swim suits!
Parents and older kids (15+) will attend a brief orientation on water safety practices to use at home — in bathtubs, pools, lakes, and more.
🌟 Every Family Gets a FREE Safety Swag Bag!
After completing your session, your family will receive a Water Safety Swag Bag filled with:
Safety gear
Educational materials
Coloring sheets
Fun giveaways to take home
Why Water Safety Matters
Water is all around us — from pools to lakes, rivers, and oceans — and while it’s a place for fun and relaxation, it can also be dangerous for those who haven’t learned the basics of water safety. The Water Safety Splash Event teaches critical skills in a relaxed, friendly environment that empowers kids and gives families tools to practice safety year-round.
Don’t Miss This Splash-Tastic Experience!
Franklin’s Water Safety Splash Event is part of the Y’s commitment to creating confident swimmers and informed families. Be sure to pair it with all the fun of Healthy Kids Day happening from 10 AM to 1 PM — including climbing wall lessons, outdoor games, giveaways, and more.
Come for the fun. Leave with the skills to stay safe — in and around water. 💧
