A mock drowning will take place to emphasize the importance of acting quickly when someone is struggling in the water. Fire officials also will talk about the benefits of life jackets.
May is Water Safety Month. Glendale’s Parks and Recreation Department, and partners in the community, including Glendale Community College, SRP and Child Crisis Arizona, will join the fire department.
The workshop is geared towards adults. Anyone who is interested in attending should RSVP to 2025 Water Safety Workshop. For information, contact GFDCommunityProgram@glendaleaz.com
