Living in an ocean front community, we hear about numerous youth drownings under various circumstances. One that really opened our eyes was a child who drowned under the supervision of a lifeguard.
As a combined service project, we are working to provide a free swimming lesson program to underprivileged elementary school children. The program will teach the fundamentals of swimming, water safety, and survival. The lessons will be given 2 times a week for 5 weeks. While we are trying to provide a free program, we are having issues acquiring a pool to use for free.
