10 people die each day from accidental drownings and on average 2 of them are under the age of 14. This statistic is both sobering and a call to action.
I am pleased to see $1.5M dollars from American Rescue Plan Act funding be used in this life-saving effort to offer free swim lessons to children. This program is more than just summer fun – it is a matter of life or death.
