Special Considerations

You’ll need to pay lifeguards.
You might also want a food and alcohol permit if you’re going to aim for a hipper vibe for the event.
THE BEST TIME TO DO THIS: This is the perfect “say hello” or “say goodbye” to summer event!
SPONSORING OR PARTNERING ORGANIZATION: The YMCA and local public pools are great resources.
If you’re including alcoholic drinks, consider reaching out to hotels.

Kids and adults alike enjoy a chance to splash around with their pals in a pool and would pay a fair price to do so. Partnering with a public pool will keep your costs down and may encourage a wide range of community members to attend.
