Examples of stations include:

Examples of stations include:

  • Proper life jacket use and fitting 
  • Cold water and hypothermia awareness 
  • Basic water safety skills and rescue concepts 

This event is open to the community at no cost, making it accessible to families across King County.

Why It Matters

Drowning is preventable, yet it remains one of the leading causes of accidental death for children. Access to water safety education is critical—but not always equitable.


April Pools Day helps close that gap by:

  • Providing free, hands-on safety education 
  • Building awareness of real-world risks like cold water and improper equipment use 
  • Giving families practical skills they can apply immediately 


Even when resources vary year to year, the mission remains the same: ensure every participant leaves with greater confidence and knowledge around water. By meeting families where they are and making learning interactive, we create a lasting impact that goes beyond a single day.

Support our Mission

April Pools Day is made possible through community support and partnerships. Your contribution helps us continue offering this event for free and expand access to life-saving education.


Support helps fund:

  • Event materials and safety equipment 
  • Instruction and staffing 
  • Community outreach and program access 


With your help, we can continue reaching more families each year—regardless of weather, resources, or financial barriers.

How to Support Us

Every gift helps ensure more children and families leave with the knowledge and confidence to stay safe in and around water. Donations directly fund event supplies, instructional staff, and hands-on learning stations that teach critical safety skills.
