Easton Pool & Spa Teams Up with Hockomock Area YMCA to Support Splash Program

Easton Pool & Spa is pleased to announce that it is proudly sponsoring the Hockomock Area YMCA’s annual SPLASH water safety program for the third year in a row. Easton Pool & Spa President, Dave Hobaica, attended the recent Hockomock Area YMCA Annual Power of Y Voices breakfast, which was held at the Gillette Stadium Putnam Club, and was thrilled to sign on for another year. He said, “My brother Bob and I have our roots and values firmly planted in this community and teaming up with the YMCA to help with this incredible program is humbling for us. We cannot stress enough how important water safety is for children and parents alike. Our company is thrilled to support this cause.” Easton Pool & Spa is dedicated to the ongoing water safety efforts in the community and wholeheartedly believes that education is the key to keeping children safe. The company is expanding its reach for the 2014 Splash program to sponsor both the Invensys Foxboro and North Attleboro YMCA branches.

The Splash program is a week-long celebration of water safety that teaches grade-level kids the importance of being safe at the beach, the pool, the lake, and while boating. The Splash program is offered to children ages 3-12 at the end of June and strongly emphasizes the importance of being safe in and around water. Kids learn the valuable ins and outs of treading water, water familiarization, safe water entry and exit, stroke development, rescues, personal safety skills, floatation skills and general pool and water rules to live by. These valuable skills will greatly help children build their confidence around all types of water during the busy summer months. 

President of the Hockomock Area YMCA, Ed Hurley, said: “The Hockomock Area YMCA is thrilled to once again partner with Easton Pool & Spa to present this program and raise the awareness of water safety in our community.  We are grateful for Easton Pool & Spa’s generous support and for Dave’s commitment to supporting local children and families.”
