H2O Expo Will Teach Kids Water Safety

 ST. PETERSBURG - Talk about timely! As spring temperatures rise, so does the attraction of a dip in the pool or bay.

The H20 EXPO, presented by FloridaSafePools.org, is Saturday, May 7, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg in its waterfront campus pool. The pool is at 104 7^th Ave. South, St. Petersburg.

Many exciting and fun activities are planned. Brooke Bennett, Olympian Gold Medalist will be ‘on-deck’ to sign autographs.

Activities include water skills evaluations for kids by certified swim instructors, Great Exploration’s Bubble Activity, pool safety device demonstrations by members of the Florida Swimming Pool Association and paddle-board demonstrations.
