Cedar Rapids third graders learn to swim at Bender Pool
In Cedar Rapids, third graders complete a three week water safety and swimming program begun in 1968 and now mandatory district wide. With two aides, Bob Ferguson guides beginners to swim the length of the pool, teaching rescue skills and eye awareness while stressing lifelong lifesaving habits. Budget cuts threaten continuation of the program.
