If you're on the hunt for a weekend activity that ticks the box for both fun and educational, the Geauga Water Safety Rodeo might be the splash your family needs. Brought to us by University Hospitals Geauga Medical Center and Safe Kids Greater Cleveland, this free, family-friendly event, according to a social media post from the Geauga County Sheriff's Office, promises a day packed with hands-on activities and crucial safety lessons centered on water.
Scheduled for Sunday, May 4, from 1–3 PM at the Geauga Family YMCA, the rodeo will feature a range of workshops. Geauga County Sheriff Scott A. Hildenbrand invites local families to participate in activities that include pool safety, open water and boating safety, hands-only CPR, and an overview of the Geauga County Dive Team, as noted in the announcement.
The event not only aims to educate but also to entice the community with giveaways—a potential hook for those who are hesitant about participating in safety drills on a weekend. A lucky few might take home a 3-month Family Membership or private swim lessons, free of charge.
