To increase kids’ awareness about recreational water illnesses and ways to prevent them, our Office of Infectious Disease Services holds an annual Healthy Swimming Contest. Arizona children ages 17 years and younger are invited to create a poster depicting healthy swimming and ways to avoid a recreational water illness. These include not swallowing water, not swimming when sick, and taking frequent bathroom breaks.
You can help your kids complete an entry form to include with their poster submission. All posters must be received by July 1, 2016 to be eligible for a prize. We’ve got some fantastic prizes for the contest winners.
Great Contest! Will let our readers know about this one, thanks Cara.
