Sag Harbor Elementary recently kicked off its three-week swim program for their students.

During each one-hour swim session, students are evaluated and taught swimming skills by trained swim instructors.

Students are also introduced to the benefits and sport of swimming, as well as the YMCA’s swim team, the Hurricanes.
“It is our hope that all students will leave school in fifth grade with a level of swimming ability that will ensure their safety in and around the ocean, bays, and books that surround our village,” Coach Sean Crowley said.
