YMCA to offer free swimming lessons to Georgetown County youth
GEORGETOWN COUNTY, S.C. (WCBD) – Georgetown County Parks and Recreation is partnering with the YMCA of Coastal Carolina to offer life-saving swimming instructions to youth this summer. A mobile pool will be set up at the Andrews Regional Recreation Center in Choppee from June 2-5 and June 9-12. It will then move to the Northwest Regional Recreational Center from June 16-19 and June 23-26. The program is part of the YMCA's 'Safety Around Water' initiative to reduce drowning rates and teach important water safety skills in underserved communities. Organizers say children ages five to nine can register for morning sessions from 9-10:30 a.m. or 10:30 a.m.- noon. Youth ages 10 to 15 will attend afternoon sessions from 1-2:30 p.m. or 2:30-4 p.m. Each participant will receive one week of lessons. 'Last year, 4,700 adults and children drowned in America,' said David Byrd, CEO of the YMCA of Coastal Carolina. 'Many of those lives were lost along the coast. Here in Georgetown County, we're surrounded by water — the Black River, Winyah Bay, the ocean. One of the leading causes of accidental drowning in children is simply not knowing how to swim. We're working to change that.' Registration is free, and you must sign up by May 30. Click here to register now. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
