2026 Watermelon Swim Annual Fall Festival
About this Event
It’s Fall Y’all! At Watermelon Swim we’re gearing up for our favorite time of the year, Pumpkin Season!
Visit any of the five Watermelon Swim Pumpkin Patches from October 2nd to October 31st to pick out the perfect pumpkin and support your community while getting in the Fall spirit. Purchase a pumpkin during the month of October and help ensure that Tampa Bay children with both physical and mental disabilities have access to the swimming, safety, and survival skills they need to develop a love of the water. Proceeds help fund scholarships in our Students with Disabilities Program.
Our Lutz, South Tampa, and Brooksville locations will feature large outdoor patches while Riverview, Wesley Chapel, and Brooksville will feature a smaller indoor setup. All locations will feature Instagram-worthy photo-ops, so grab your matching family flannels and get in the Fall spirit. Admission is FREE and open to the public from 8am - 8pm all month long.
While you're here, fill out an interest form for a chance to win 3 months of complimentary lessons.
The fun culminates on October 17th with our annual Fall Festival held from 4pm - 7pm at our Lutz, South Tampa, and Brooksville locations. This event is FREE and fun for the whole family, featuring trunk-or-treating, fall games with prizes, fall photo-ops, tasty bites, bounce houses, pumpkin painting, and more. Fall Fest is open to the public and a great way to celebrate the season while checking out what Watermelon Swim has to offer. Gather your best costumes + trick-or-treat bags and join the fun!
