At Y.E. Smith Elementary, we believe in providing our students with essential life skills that extend beyond the classroom. This week, our second-graders made a splash in the Swim for Charlie program, gaining confidence in the water while learning critical swimming and water safety skills!
Through this incredible opportunity, students received hands-on instruction from trained swim coaches, practicing everything from floating and kicking to proper breathing techniques. Many of our scholars stepped into the water for the first time, and by the end of the session, they were paddling, splashing, and showcasing newfound confidence in the pool!
Swim for Charlie is more than just a swim lesson—it’s an investment in our students’ safety, well-being, and personal growth. We are so proud of our second-graders for their hard work and resilience! Thank you to Swim for Charlie, our dedicated teachers, and supportive families for making this experience possible.
