We’ have some big news, Melon Families! 

We’re taking our mission beyond the pool and into the wild, Watermelon Swim is proud to announce our corporate sponsorship with ZooTampa, one of Tampa Bay’s most beloved family destinations! 

ZooTampa’s commitment to education, conservation, and community makes them the perfect partner as we continue to spread water safety awareness throughout the Tampa Bay area. Together, we’re creating more opportunities to connect with families in fun, engaging environments they already know and love 

Making Waves at ZooTampa Events 

As part of this exciting partnership, Team Melon will be popping up at ZooTampa for special family-friendly events all year long! 

Manatee Conservation 

On Saturday, May 2nd, some of the Melon crew, and our favorite guy, Slyce, visited the zoo to spread our mission, and host two water safety presentations, and give away some melontastic swag to go home with families. 

Toddler Tuesday  

This members-only event is focused on the littlest of melons. On Tuesday, May 12th, families & their toddlers can find us at Toddler Tuesday promoting water safety education, hosting giveaways, and even a mascot meet & greet, with Slyce. 

Be sure to keep an eye on our social channels for updates, giveaways, and more chances to see Team Melon in action! 

Why This Partnership Is So Impactful 

Here in Florida, bodies of water are around every corner, that’s why water safety & drowning prevention are an essential part of every child’s education. By partnering with ZooTampa, we’re able to bring these important lessons into a playful, engaging setting where families are already making memories. Whether it’s through live presentations, interactive moments, or meeting Slyce, our goal is to make water safety education fun, approachable, and unforgettable. 

The more families we reach, the more confident, capable, and safer swimmers we can help create across our community. 

We can’t wait to see you for some wild adventures at the zoo!
