IRON MOUNTAIN Northern Lights YMCA Dickinson Center’s annual third-grade swim program returned in February with a twist.
With the pandemic canceling the program in 2020, the YMCA this year is teaching fourth-grade students how to swim as well.
“Those in third grade in 2020 missed out on the program, so we wanted to make sure those children still receive their lessons,” said Tanner Walsh, NLYMCA aquatics director. “We’ve doubled our programming, with the fourth-graders swimming the rest of (February) and the third-graders coming during the normal time we hold the lessons in March and April.”
