When you are a kid you feel it, it's like a vibration in the air, summer is FINALLY here! It's the time of miracles when anything can happen and fun is at the center of every activity. A time when the focus is watermelons, Popsicles, swimming and fireworks, not homework, reading, writing and math! Any learning you do over the summer has the sweet added ingredient of 'amusement'. Living where we do, the official arrival of summer means swimming for most kids. In home and community pools, and at the beach, swimming is central to life on the Gulf Coast. As a parent you want to be sure your child is a strong swimmer, confident and safe around the water when they are with you and more importantly, when they are not! So why not kick off this summer with a variety of family-friendly activities designed by Safe Kids Greater Tampa and St. Joseph's Children's Hospital to equip kids with the information they need to make smart choices! Ground Zero for these fun, free activities is KidX Club where X Marks the Spot for Kid's Summer Fun in Tampa this year, and it's FREE!

What Is It?
KidX Kid’s Club is Westshore Plaza's new kid-club where children come together to enjoy FREE activities designed to inspire them to explore their world, mature and learn in a healthy environment. “X” marks the spot for KidX members. Whether it’s expressing themselves through art, exploring a kids safety fair, or engaging in fun fitness activities, KidX brings it! On June 18th the focus will be learning about water safety, physical fitness, exercise and more.
