San Diego expands free swim lessons in low-income neighborhoods to combat rising drowning deaths
“The classes are part of the the city of San Diego’s Schools to Pools program. The city has long offered free swimming lessons, but this year they’re pushing to offer even more in low-income neighborhoods. And they’re bringing students out of class during the school day to do it. Aquatics supervisor Sinthya Carranza said it’s much more accessible this way.”
