Fourth grader Orlando Vega is excited to learn to swim at Cleveland State University’s natatorium.
“It’s awesome,” said the 9-year-old.
Vega, along with other Cleveland Metropolitan School District students, just started the program, but he is already seeing results. “I’m more confident,” he explained.
The program is about to make an even bigger splash. The Cuyahoga County Fresh Water Institute, in partnership with Aqua Missions and Cleveland State University, announced Wednesday that their Learn to Swim program is expanding to include Warrensville Heights fourth-grade students.
