Nearly 200 children join underwater egg hunt at El Segundo Aquatic Center
Summary
An Easter-weekend event at the El Segundo Aquatic Center featured an underwater egg hunt, open recreational swimming, a bounce house and an aquatic obstacle course; organizers said nearly 200 children participated.
Nearly 200 children took part in an underwater egg hunt and related activities at the Aquatic Center in El Segundo during Easter celebrations, Tully Anderson, a reporter for ElksaNu Media, said.
The event included an underwater egg hunt, open recreational swimming, a bounce house and an aquatic obstacle course, organizers and attendees said. "So we have the underwater egg hunt, of course. We have open rec swim, a bounce house, and an aquatic obstacle course as well," an attendee said, describing the day’s lineup.
Attendees emphasized the family aspect of the celebration. "It's really about family and community," another attendee said. Participants described the event as lively, with music and treats; one attendee said the underwater format made it "super unique" compared with typical park egg hunts.
The event drew a large number of children: "Nearly 200 kids enjoyed an underwater egg hunt and filled their tummies with a ton of candy," Anderson reported in closing remarks. Attendees gave informal estimates of eggs collected — one said they thought they collected "like, 40 or 20" eggs — but no official count of eggs per participant was provided.
Organizers did not announce a formal schedule for future events during the recording. The audio clip closed with participants offering Easter greetings.
