🦸‍♂️ Race Overview

Bring out your inner Superpowers for Swim 4 Braxton's

3rd Annual Spectacular Super B-Dog 5K/10K Race on Saturday, April 27, 2025.

This race is being held in honor of Braxton Ackerman, a 4-year-old little superhero who lost his life, 3 days after his 4th birthday, in March 2022 due to a water related accident at his home.

🎭 Attire and Theme

Dress Code: Super Hero attire (capes, masks, shields, etc.) is HIGHLY encouraged!!

🎟️ Charity Purpose

All proceeds go to Swim 4 Braxton. Our goal is to raise awareness on water safety and prevent drownings through education. We are asking for your help by attending our walk or race or even by donating. All race profits go towards funding swimming lessons for kids, pool fence/barrier installation, and other drowning prevention tools.

🚨 Drowning Statistics

Surprisingly, 58% of parents report that they don’t consider drowning a risk to their children, yet statistics show that a swimming pool is 14 times more likely to be involved in the death of a child, aged 1 — 4 years old, than a motor vehicle. In fact, while most parents worry about things like a hot stove, iron, sharp objects, a fall from tall surfaces, perhaps animals, or even a loaded gun in the house, the most dangerous thing is something that is always around us in some way: water. And the worst part is that we don’t tend to think much about this.

Please take the time to check out the information offered here: https://www.preventdrownings.org. It could save a life!
