Louisville City FC recently kicked off its summer camp series, and Louisville Water joined in to help campers understand how to hydrate properly in summer heat.
At the physically distanced soccer camp at Thurman Hutchins Park on River Road, Louisville Water’s Barbara Crow talked to attendees about how much to water to drink and how to know if they are properly hydrated.
Each of the 80 campers were also given a Louisville pure tap® reusable bottle they were instructed to wash, fill with pure tap®, drink and repeat. They were also reminded not to share water bottles with others.
Louisville Water will talk to campers at three more weeklong Louisville City FC camps in July — each of them are sold out — reaching hundreds with their message of healthy hydration.
“We want to thank the Louisville Water Company for their support of LouCity soccer camps and providing our campers education on the importance of hydration for sports,” said Mario Sanchez, LouCity’s director of youth development.
As temperatures rise and more people are outside, this is just one way that Louisville Water is getting the message out that drinking Louisville pure tap® will keep the public healthy and safe.
“We recommend customers drink eight glasses of water daily, drink pure tap® before you leave the house and take reusable water bottles when you are on the go,” said Louisville Water’s vice president of communication, Kelley Dearing Smith.
As part of a partnership with Louisville City FC, Louisville Water recently installed three hydrations stations at the new Lynn Family Stadium. Each station includes two water fountains, a bottle filler and fun messaging for fans. Fans can find the hydration stations at the East, West, and South concourses of Lynn Family Stadium once games begin.
