About the Swim on-the-Go Initiative

Swim on-the-Go was developed to ensure Riviera Beach residents continue to have access to aquatics programming, recreation, and water safety education. Through partnerships with local HOAs, nearby municipalities, and Rapids Water Park, the City is bringing aquatic access directly into neighborhoods and expanding opportunities for residents of all ages.

Why It Matters

With Barracuda Bay scheduled for demolition to make way for the new Police Department, the City created Swim on-the-Go as an innovative and collaborative response that keeps families swimming, learning, and thriving.

A Community-Driven Aquatics Solution

Rapids Expanded family recreation opportunities
Safety Water skills and drowning prevention support 

Water Safety Matters

Water safety is a year-round priority. Families are encouraged to build confidence in the water through swim instruction, supervised practice, and ongoing safety education.

For qualifying families, the Drowning Prevention Coalition of Palm Beach County offers free or reduced-cost lessons for children and eligible caregivers. Residents can visit the Coalition’s website for details on qualifications and application steps.

Important reminder: There is no such thing as a child being drown-proof. Always watch children in or around water.
