BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. – Kids learned about water safety this week at the Boys & Girls Club in Carver Ranches.
The swimmers woke up bright and early for their final day of the camp on Southwest 4th Avenue and 23rd Street.
The aquatics director of the department, George Coneo said it is imperative for kids to learn how to swim, especially during this time of year.
“We’re surrounded by water and its imperative that every child learns how to swim. At least at a basic level,’ said Coneo.
At the end of the class, the kids received certificates for all of their hard work during the four-day program with the ZAC Foundation in partnership with the Boys & Girls Club.
The ZAC Foundation was established to prepare children and families for a lifetime of water safety.
According to the organization’s website, the group also works to strengthen pool safety legislation and funds advocacy, education and effective programming surrounding water safety. Zachary Archer Cohn’s memory is the inspiration for the Foundation’s mission and activities.
