Kathy, Laurie and I are excited to announce that swim lessons are up and running. Through the months of February and March we are teaching swim lessons for Special School District. Some of these special boys and girls will go on to compete in the Special Olympics Area Meet. I am so excited to be able to participate in this program for the first time this year. It is amazing to see these kids in action and to enjoy the excitement they get from coming to the pool.

Mark your calendars for regular swim lessons to start all over the St. Louis area June 8^th.

I would like to take a moment to send out a BIG THANK YOU to my staff and volunteers for making these lessons possible, and for helping train our youth to be safer in the aquatic environment.
