RECREATION DEPARTMENT OFFERS SWIM LESSONS THROUGHOUT SUMMER

 

The statistics on the dangers of not being able to swim are alarming. Statewide, drowning is the number two cause of accidental death for children ages 14 and under. For children ages five and under, close to 350 children drown in residential swimming pools each year. An estimated 3,600 children in Michigan go to the emergency room after near drowning incidents a year.
