Water safety lessons begin for Broward kindergarteners
Each fall and spring, Broward public and charter schools take children, mostly kindergarteners, on school time to a local pool to teach them water safety.
The lessons are free. You just have to remember to send your child to school in a swim suit, and pack dry underwear.
It's the county's attempt to address the problem of child drowning in South Florida. We have water everywhere, so we're better off if our children know how to swim.
