The state of Florida has launched an amazing initiative: the Swimming Lesson Voucher Program, designed to provide free swimming lessons for kids ages 4 and under.
Launched by Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nunez, this program aims to increase water safety and help prevent drowning, a vital concern for families living in our vibrant coastal community. With support from the Florida Department of Health and various local partners, this initiative is all about keeping our children safe in and around water.
