Clemens Community Pool will offer two special events on May 15 and May 23 in conjunction with National Water Safety Month, pool director Eugenia Moone announced.
The pool will host an International Water Safety Day event on Thursday, May 15, with two sessions available (5:30-6:30 p.m., and 6:30-7:30 p.m.) for swimmers ages 3 and older. Participants will be able to work on basic swimming and water safety skills including floating, bobbing to safety, reach or throw (don’t go!) and life jacket safety, Moone said.
In addition, spectators will receive information to keep their families safe around water.
The cost is $7 for swimmers, free for spectators. Call 541-929-3584 to preregister, which is recommended to reserve a spot.
