Seventy Ada youth improved their swimming skills thanks to a nine-day Red Cross swimming course at the Ada pool, according to Saundra Neely, American Red Cross water safety instructor.

During the lessons 36 volunteers assisted, giving in excess of 311 hours of their time for Ada youth to become safer in and around water. Some helpers were in the water, while others worked on deck and some did both.
