JW Marriott Kolkata in association with Wings Preschool, organised a fun pool party on a sweltering Sunday on May 7, for kids between ages two to fourteen. The poolside came alive with various fun activities for kids, like face painting where the little ones painted their faces with their favourite superhero logos, Water Balance Art, Squirt Gun Games and many more. They jumped into the pool under the watchful eyes of their mothers and lifeguards.
The main attraction of the kids’ pool party was an Aqua Zumba session by Shakti and Rashmi Gambhir, where the kids had a ball in the pool. The mothers also shook a leg at the Zumba session.
