Summer is here and so is the time for Red Cross Swimming Lessons, according to Sandra Neely, Red Cross water safety instructor.

As in past years the Ada Learn To Swim Program is in need of aides to assist with the lessons.

Ages 12 and up, including adults are encouraged to sign up to help others learn swimming skills.  As little as an hour each day of lessons is helpful. Lessons begin the week of July 11 for two weeks and continue Monday through Friday each week.

Help is needed on deck for paperwork as well as in the water. You do not need to be a good swimmer to help others, Neely told the Icon,.

A training session is from 9 to 11 a.m., Tuesday, July 5.  For more information call 419-634-3786. Leave your name and number if no one answers. You will be contacted with details.

Neely thanked the Village of Ada for providing the pool facility and the Ada Kiwanis Club for sponsoring the lessons.

"Please consider giving back to the Ada community. Volunteering is a veryworthwhile activity," she said.
