Boston Launches Free Swim Lessons, Lifeguard Training Through A Partnership For Swim Safety

GBH News—Boston has 47 miles of shoreline, defining our city as one of the most beautiful and vibrant coastal cities in the world. Decades ago, we went big and bold, investing billions of dollars in the historic cleanup of the pollution that plagued Boston Harbor, the Charles River and other bodies of water in our city. Our waterfront should be an inclusive and safe place for children and adults to find joy. That is why we are pleased to launch the Swim Safely Partnership , aimed to increase access to swimming lessons, especially for families who have faced historic racial and economic barriers.
