TUPELO, Miss. (WCBI) — Halloween is just around the corner, and some children got the chance take part in a pumpkin splash at the Tupelo Aquatic Center.

The pool became a floating pumpkin patch as the kids swam to find the pumpkin with their name on it.

It was just one of the activities at the newly opened Aquatic Center, to help children get their daily exercise requirement.

Barbara Aguirre is Program Director at the Aquatic Center.

“Because they’re having to swim to get that pumpkin,” Aguiree said. “They’re having to swim when they get off the inflatables to get back to shore so we’re adding a lot of different aspects having fun and exercising at the same time.”

The children really enjoyed their pumpkins which they got to take home.
