KATY, TX (June 5, 2019) – Typhoon Texas will host free swim lessons on Thursday, June 20 starting at 8:30 a.m. when children of all ages can learn life-saving skills to prevent drowning, the second leading cause of unintended, injury-related death for U.S. children ages 1-14.
Space is limited to the first 300 participants. Sign up for the free swim lessons is required at https://www.typhoontexas.com/houston/park-events.
