TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV)— Local law enforcement recently helped a swim program at the Vigo County School Corporation’s Aquatic Center.
The Vigo County Sheriff’s Department and Terre Haute Police Union donated swimsuits and towels to the Swim by 7 program. The program posted about the need for supplies on social media. The towels and swimsuits donated are cleaned each day so they can be used by kids in the program who need them.
“Our program sees all the kids in kindergarten and first grade, so we go through a lot of towels and swimsuits,” said PE Teacher, Swim Instructor, and Lifeguard Instructor, Liz Marietta. “We have kids who maybe are just rushed out the door, and they forget their swimsuit, or maybe just some kids that are in need, so it’s nice to have a stockpile to be able to pull those resources and make their learning experience even better.”
The Swim by 7 program teaches kids how to be safe in and around the water.
