Henrico County schools partner with the YMCA of Greater Richmond and NOVA
Swimming to support water safety and promote healthy lifestyles for all students. Each year,
thousands of children are involved in water-related accidents. Many of these accidents could
be prevented through proper aquatic safety and swimming instruction. Swimming skills
help our children safely enjoy a variety of aquatic activities throughout their
lifetimes.
Our 2nd Graders thoroughly enjoyed this program offered once a week for six weeks! Whether they started the program as non-swimmers or already had experience in the water, every student's ability and comfort level improved. Thank you to HCPS and the Shady Grove Y for organizing such an important and enjoyable event!
