Hop, Skip & Splash 5K Fun Run/Walk

Making Waves for Water Safety in Orange County

Join us on Sunday, October 25, 2026, for the 4th annual Hop, Skip & Splash 5K — a fun, family-friendly beachside fundraiser benefiting swim lessons and water safety education for children throughout Orange County and beyond.

Last year we welcomed 200 participants and raised $30,000 to expand access for local families!

Your $50 registration covers swim lessons for one child. This is the average cost of 4-8 classes at a local city or county pool. Whether you run, walk, or skip across the finish line, your participation helps save lives by supporting families who lack access to these life-saving resources!
