Cancelled: 2022 Fishy Family Reunion

UPDATE: With the forecast being what it is right now, we’re regretfully cancelling the 2022 Fishy Family Reunion.

We’ll hopefully be able to do the reunion later on a cooler weekend.

We hate to do this, but everyone’s safety in this hot weather is far more important!

Contest winners will be drawn after noon on July 4 (Independence Day). The winners will be announced and contacted by phone before close of business on the following day. Upon contact, a representative of The School of Yaya’s Fishes will work with the winning guardian to select a training schedule that will work for the student, family, and trainers.

Each scholarship is valued at $500, based on the average four weeks of Survival Swim Training. Survival Swim Training sessions are everyday Monday through Friday in 10-to-15-minute sessions for the length of the student’s training. While the average length of training is four weeks, this timeline may vary, based on each student’s rate of improvement and task comprehension.

The winners of this scholarship giveaway will be selected at random from the pool of registrations.
