We love a good egg hunt, and we love swimming- why not combine the two with a floating egg hunt?! Typically, a floating egg hunt is when a community pool is filled with little plastic Easter eggs, and participants swim to collect them (of course, each city has its own spin on this new tradition). It’s a unique seasonal activity and fun for families who love swimming. Grab your baskets and get ready for a spring egg hunt.
We rounded up a handful of local splashy egg events. These events require reservations and typically sell out quickly, so get on it!
