Schools out and swimming is in at Splash Island, which offers fun in the sun for the whole family. This spot offers an activity pool and raindrop waterfalls.

Each park has everything ready for you to enjoy your day including: showers, lounge chairs, concessions, lockers, and lifeguards.

If you need to brush up on your swimming before hitting one of these splash spots you can check out the West County Aquatic Center in Hollywood. The pool is operated by Charleston County Parks and offers swim lessons to beginners and advanced swimmers.
