This year’s “April Pools” event moved to May! WKC needs volunteers for this KIDS water safety event on Saturday, May 21, 2022, 1 to 3 p.m. at the Tukwila Pool.

We need volunteers in and out of kayaks. Tasks include:

·       Short demonstration of paddling, rolling, playboating

·       Assist kids’ entry to / exit from kayak

·       Swimmers in the water

They expect kids as young as six years old, so small kayaks will be best.

We’re looking for as many as six (or more) kayakers and their kayaks, plus extra people in the water.

They want the kids to be familiar with safety, so all participants need to wear a PFD. A helmet is suggested because paddle control by young kids can be unpredictable. Bring a spare PFD to share with the kids if you can.

There will be six stations throughout the facility, and six groups of patrons per hour. Each group will get 10 minutes per station to learn about something relating to water safety.
