ROCK ISLAND, ILLINOIS (October 2, 2025) — Get ready to make a splash this Halloween season at the YWCA Quad Cities Spooky Swim on Saturday, October 11, 4–8PM.

Dive into an evening filled with ghoulishly good fun, from inflatable games that will test your skills to a pumpkin relay that’s sure to bring on the giggles.

And what’s a spooky celebration without treats?

Snack on frightfully fun goodies like Bloody Popcorn from our concession stand while you enjoy the haunted poolside vibes.

Come ready to play, laugh, and float your way into a fang-tastic fall night!
