Second (2nd) Grade Swim Program
Swim for Life Letter
Dear Snohomish School District 2nd Grade Student and Family,
Did you know?
- Drowning ranks fifth among the leading causes of unintentional injury death in the United States, and second among children in the state of Washington.
- Participation in formal swimming lessons may reduce the risk of drowning by as much as 88 percent among young children aged 1 to 4 years, who are at highest risk of drowning.
- Regular physical activity in childhood and adolescence improves strength and endurance, helps build healthy bones and muscles, helps control weight, reduces anxiety and stress, increases self-esteem, and may improve blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
Swim for Life, a nonprofit organization, was formed by local community members who have a passion for enriching the lives of young people in our community. Its mission is to make young people safer in the water. To that end, we would like you to know about their exciting partnership with Snohomish Aquatic Center.
Since the opening of the Snohomish Aquatic Center, Swim for Life has offered every 2nd grader enrolled in the Snohomish School District a free session of group swim lessons at the Snohomish Aquatic Center during the child's 2nd grade school year. This community program is being funded through generous donations raised through Swim for Life.
