Nothing says Halloween quite like a pumpkin diving at the Sewickley Valley YMCA.

This year, staff members said 90 children participated in the fourth annual "Great Pumpkin Swim." Kids swam through the large pool and picked orange pumpkins on Saturday from the floating pumpkin patch. 

In addition to the floating pumpkins, the event also included pumpkin painting and snacks.
