Kids head into the swimming pool to hunt for Easter eggs

Although Brianna Winzeler, 1, was too young to hunt for eggs in the swimming pool, her mother Rachael Winzeler said the family would return to the Aqua Egg Hunt in the future.

As Brianna was enjoying a meeting with the Easter Bunny, Rachael Winzeler said her three older boys enjoyed the egg hunts that day.

"She will be doing them when she's older," she said.

Held at Arlington Park & Aquatic Complex, the annual event featured egg hunts in the complex's swimming pools, divided by age for safety, with a requirement for parents to accompany kids in the groups for ages 5 and under.

Kids enjoyed inflatables and took home goodie bags, while organizers offered prizes for special "golden" eggs. 

Emily Morris, manager at Arlington Park & Aquatic Complex, said hunting for Easter eggs in the water is a unique experience in the area.

"Everyone seems to be smiling when they're leaving, so we're happy to be able to do it for the community and host it every year," she said.
