We were excited this summer to roll out a community child-safety project in collaboration with the Clermont Parks & Recreation Center and the Community Foundation of South Lake-CFSL.
Thanks to a $2,000.00 grant provided by the CFSL, the club was able to coordinate a drowning prevention and swim safety program with the City of Clermont’s Recreation and Aquatics Team.
Participating ages ranged from 6 months old to 6 years old with applicable programs for each age group. “By the end of the program, they are all leaving with something valuable. They’ve learned important water safety skills, gained confidence, and had a lot of fun along the way,” says Aquatics Manager Paige Neely.
We are grateful as a club to both the CFSL and the City of Clermont for this wonderful opportunity. We want to also give a huge shout out to Paige for her unwavering professionalism and ability in putting the program together.
