On Wednesday, January 8, 2024, WPIX 11’s Ben Aarons joined our preschool classes for a quick dip and a lesson in water safety. The spot aired live on the Morning Show, and then was later featured at during the 5pm news.
The BGCNW Learn-to-Swim program teaches over 1,000 children annually to be water-safe. With drowning the number one cause of accidental death for children under the age of 6, water safety is a critical life skill.
Thank you to Ben and WPIX11 for highlighting this special program.
