SILVER SPRING, MD — Children will have the opportunity to hop in the pool for a boat race or to try water polo as part of the upcoming Healthy Kids Day at the Silver Spring YMCA.

The annual event includes family-friendly activities to promote a healthy start to the summer season for area families. This free, three-hour event takes place on April 29, starting at 10 a.m.

All YMCA branches in the D.C. metro area are hosting Healthy Kids Day events, including the YMCA Silver Spring located at 9800 Hastings Drive.
