Swimming

Project Swim is a free program for residents of all ages, funded through a grant, aimed at teaching the basics of surviving and how to have safe fun in the water.

There will be swimming lessons, water aerobic classes and a whole lot more.

School has ended and summer vacation is here, and the American Red Cross has some advice on how you can stay safe over the next couple of months.

Project Swim is back for another year.  This year, organizers are looking to teach at least 1,500 children how to swim.

Dr. Harry Briggs is an inspiration. At 91-years-old, he is still swimming to honor his late wife and help his beloved school, Northwestern State University in Natchitoches.

Florida lifeguard Tomas Lopez was fired from his job for saving a swimmer who was drowning. Wait, what?

Two of the three Bossier City Parks and Recreation Pools open this week.  I talked with city spokesman Mark Natale about what we have to look forward to:
