Splash, Smile, & Support-Open Swim for Grieving families

About the Program

We understand that grief touches every member of a family, and healing happens best when experienced together. This program offers a gentle, welcoming space where families who have experienced loss can come together, connect, and find comfort in their community.

This free weekly swim program provides open swim time every Saturday afternoon, designed to support families with children navigating grief in a calm, supportive environment. It’s a chance to splash, play, and simply be—without pressure or expectations.
