The lessons teach children how to swim in real-life situations where a lifeguard may not be present, such as a backyard pool, Rubritz said, which has been a drawing factor for parents.

“Lessons by Lifeguards” is underway this week at the YWCA in Green Bay. The grant funded program is making a difference for kids who might not have the opportunity to take swim lessons.

Pool gates require specific safety features, including: - Self-closing mechanisms - Self-latching devices - Outward-opening design - Secure locking systems Monthly inspections required ...

Lessons begin on Monday, June 30, and run through Friday for 2 weeks and are offered at 10a.m. and 11 a.m. Sign-ups will be in person on Friday June 27 from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. at Gallagher Pool.

Pool Scouts in Austin is donating a portion of its revenues to Hope Floats Foundation to fund swim lessons for underprivileged children.
