“It is easy to take water safety skills for granted, but the reality is that many adults in our community do not know how to swim or save a loved one from drowning.” John Holets, Director of Aquatics for the Jennersville YMCA -------------------- With pool and beach season upon us, we recently hosted a bi-lingual water safety skills program for adults at the offices of LCH Health and Community Services and in the pool at our Jennersville branch. The best part? The program was free of charge, thanks to the inspiring fundraising efforts of Madelyn DiBonaventura, a student at Villa Maria Academy.
