Detroit providing hundreds of children with free swim lessons
Hundreds of Detroit children can learn to swim for free this summer thanks to the Swim in the D program.
DETROIT (FOX 2) - Detroit is offering free swimming lessons for children this summer.
Swim in the D will teach children 6-17 how to swim and provide water safety lessons in collaboration with Huron-Clinton Metroparks and The Detroit Riverfront Conservancy.
It’s bigger than just learning how to swim, said Keith Flournoy, the deputy director of Detroit s Parks and Recreation Division. Water safety I think is equally important. Even if you don’t know how to swim you can still learn water safety.
