SODA Supports Kettering Healthy Kids Day

April 19, 2008 as proclaimed Healthy Kids Day in the City of Kettering by Mayor Don Patterson. Community South YMCA in Kettering sponsored a Healthy Kids Day fair at their facility. The goal of the fair was to develop and support healthy kids by introducing them to new ideas and learning opportunities.

SODA scuba instructors, Charlie Cram and Charlie Kleemann, operated a booth at the fair to introduce kids and their families to scuba diving as a fun and healthy family activity.

The SODA booth showed dive videos and underwater photo slide shows, and offered an array of scuba equipment for the kids to look at and try on.

Dress Like a Scuba Diver


SODA also offered the kids a unique opportunity to get a taste of scuba diving. A coral reef was simulated by placing shells, coins, and coral pieces into a large tub of water. The kids could then don a mask, put in a regulator and explore the wonders of the reef in a tub.
