City of Darlington wraps up this season’s free swimming lessons
The City of Darlington wrapped up this season’s session of free beginner’s swimming lessons June 27. Dozens of kids 5 to 18 completed the three-day course, where trained volunteers helped students learn basic swimming techniques like holding your breath underwater, floating and deep water swimming.
Another swim lesson course for advanced beginners (including efficient swim strokes and deep water survival) will begin July 19. Call Lillian Brunson at 843-393-7233 for more information.
The Gandy Pool (Darlington City Pool) is open weekly from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., weather permitting, on Wednesdays through Saturdays. The pool is at 115 Gary Street, and the cost is $1 to swim for the day.
