Thousands of Rubber Duckies to Race Raging Waters’ Lazy River with Mermaids During Swim Brayv’s Dashing Duck Drawing Fundraiser on Monday, May 26
By Erin
Get ready for a splash-tacular Memorial Day like no other! On Monday, May 26 at 2 p.m., Raging Waters Los Angeles will turn its iconic lazy river into a whimsical waterway filled with thousands of racing rubber duckies and real-life mermaids, all for a life-saving cause.
It’s all part of the Dashing Duck Drawing Fundraiser, hosted by the amazing team at Swim Brayv, a nonprofit dedicated to making water safety education fun, accessible, and unforgettable for families across Southern California.
🛟 What’s the Duck Deal?
Here’s how it works: Guests can “adopt” a rubber duck for the big race. Not only do you get to root for your ducky as it floats its way to victory, but you’ll also be entered to win an epic gift basket valued at up to $500! Even better? Every adoption helps Swim Brayv provide proactive water safety programming to kids and families in need.

🌊 More Than Just a Race
“We’re not just racing ducks, we’re racing toward equity in water safety education,” says Candace Thome, CEO of Swim Brayv Foundation. “With Raging Waters by our side, we’re creating a ripple effect of joy, safety, and awareness that goes far beyond the pool.”
And did we mention the world’s largest rubber duck (yes, really, it’s over six stories tall!) will be on display all weekend long? She’ll be joined by her adorable 10-foot-tall baby duck, perfect for Insta-worthy family photo ops 📸🐥
🏊♀️ Swim Safe & Make a Splash
Raging Waters is also donating 1,000 complimentary tickets to Swim Brayv this season to support their outreach work. Families can take the Swim B.R.A.Y.V. Pledge at events and enter to win these free tickets, ensuring even more kids learn essential water safety skills—and get to enjoy a day of summer fun at the park, safely!
