SOUTH COUNTY YMCA HOSTS SWIM WITH THE PUMPKINS

While many enjoy traditional Halloween activities like trick or treating, attending parties, and of course wearing fun costumes – have you ever celebrated Halloween by swimming with pumpkins?  If your answer is no then you have the opportunity to Swim with the Pumpkins at your local YMCA.  If you joined in the fun at the Y last year, then you know what a treat it is to swim and dive for pumpkins in one of the Y’s swimming pools.  This free family event is open to anyone who enjoys Halloween, wants to check out their local YMCA for free, or is a member and wants to celebrate Halloween with friends. 

YMCAs throughout the area will host the event on different days so everyone gets the chance to attend this free community event.  At the end of the evening children receive one real pumpkin when they turn in their inflatable pumpkin from the swimming pool. 

Additionally, check out the membership opportunities for you and your family.  If you join during the Swim with the Pumpkins event the Y will waive the joiner’s fee.  You could attend the Swim with the Pumpkins event for free, and save up to $78 on a membership when we waive the joiner’s fee.  Don’t hesitate.  Registration for Swim with the Pumpkins is required.  So call or stop by your local YMCA today.  And, swim and SAVE with the pumpkins!!
