The Californer/10353480

SAN DIMAS, Calif. - Californer -- Every child deserves the opportunity to be safe in the water. In honor of World Drowning Prevention Day, the Swim Up Hill Foundation partnered with Blue Dreams Swim School on Sunday, July 26, to provide local families with free swim instruction, practical water safety education, and an afternoon of community-centered fun in San Dimas.

Attendees participated in small-group swim lessons led by instructors from both Swim Up Hill and Blue Dreams Swim School, following an on-land demonstration of the Swim Bowl Method presented by Swim Up Hill Founder and CEO Jamal Hill. USA Men's Senior National Water Polo Team member Max Irving also joined the event, helping provide hands-on instruction and encouragement to young swimmers.

Swim Up Hill extends its gratitude to event sponsors Saint James Tea and Nuun Hydration for keeping participants hydrated throughout the day and supporting the organization's mission to make water safety education more accessible to communities.
