The Water Safety Day will inform participants about general water safety, pool rules, cold-water safety, ice safety, buddy safety, rescue techniques, emergency planning and responding, proper life jacket use and more.

The cost of the clinic is $50 per participant, but if more than one sibling signs up, the price is reduced to $40 per participant. On-site registration is $60.
