Swim with Santa at Northport Aquatic Center

Families can dive into holiday fun with a Florida twist as the North Port Aquatic Center, 6205 W. Price Blvd., hosts its annual Swim with Santa event on Saturday, December 20, from 10 a.m. to noon.

Santa Claus will trade his sleigh for swim trunks to greet families for a morning of swimming, games and holiday activities. Children and parents can enjoy holiday-themed crafts, poolside games and a tropical holiday setting.

Guests are encouraged to bring cameras to capture photos with Santa. Complimentary cookies and hot chocolate will be served at the concession stand.

“Swim with Santa is a wonderful way for families to come together, share in the joy of the season and create lasting holiday memories,” said Aquatics Manager Devón Poulos. “We are proud to offer events like this that bring the community together in a fun, family-friendly environment.”

Admission is 15 dollars per child and includes activities. Adults supervising children under age 10 are admitted free but must monitor their child in the water. Pre-registration is recommended as space is limited. Registration is available at NorthPortFL.gov/SwimWithSanta or by calling 941-429-PARK (7275), option 2.

The North Port Aquatic Center is seeking donations of new, unwrapped presents and gift cards so each child attending can take home a gift. Donations can be dropped off at the center during regular operating hours through December 12. For more information, contact Kimberly Lencki at 941-429-7143 or KLencki@NorthPortFL.gov.
