HISTORY OF APRIL POOL'S DAY IN WASHINGTON

April Pools Day began in 1993 by the Seattle-King County Drowning Prevention Coalition. The Coalition decided to have an annual April Pools Day event where families and community members could go to their local pool and get safely prepared for our seasonal water-related activities. April Pools Day was designed to include a free swim so that community members can familiarize themselves with their local aquatic facilities. April Pool’s Day is now a statewide event, with each pool designing the program that best fits their needs. Programs often include water safety demonstrations and “hands-on” practice such as reach assists, use of improvised rescue equipment, and wearing a lifejacket in the pool.
