Learn to Swim
by R.C. Bryan
Programs that are run need funding and there are many ways that the public help from a car donation to enrolling for leadership courses to deliver programs.The American Red Cross, since 1914, has been giving for the best training and tips on how to be safe in, on, and around the water! Nearly 2 million people learn to swim each year with American Red Cross programs that also annually trains more than 170,000 lifeguards. Funds raised from auto donation, for example, directly help the community through such programs. The lifeguard training and first aid certificates are valid for three years (CPR certificates for one year) from the date of completion.
The new American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim classes are designed to give students a positive learning experience and to provide instruction for swimmers of all ages and abilities to develop their swimming and water safety skills such as: water entry and exit, breath control and underwater swimming, buoyancy, changing direction and position, treading water, swimming on front, back and side, general and personal water safety and of course, helping others. By reaching Level 6 in the program students are prepared to participate in more advanced courses, such as Water Safety Instructor and Lifeguard Training. By continuing to raise funds with novel ideas like vehicle donation you could be setting up the future water safety of your family and your community.
Not everything done by the ARC is in response to a major disaster but even a puddle or a garden pond can present the threat of drowning to any family and that would surely be a disaster. Water safety is an essential. Car maintenance is essential. If your car has passed its 'sell by date' the ideal solution is for you to donate your car to the Red Cross or you could also donate a vehicle like a boat on a trailer you no longer have any use for. But, now that you've got the whole family water safe through the Red Cross program you might prefer to hold onto the boat and enjoy the waters of our rivers, lakes and coastlines - safely.
