It was a great day to teach members of the East Side/Mt. Hope YMCA community all about water safety! Thank you to BankNewport for sponsoring today's programming and a special thank you as well to the families of Tylon Brooks and Joshua Richards for helping to coordinate this event in the wake of their tragic losses to drownings. Unfortunately, drowning is the leading cause of death for children in the US. Events like this as well as regular swim lessons provided by the Y are the best way to educate, bring awareness to, and prevent future harmful incidents around water. It was also great to be joined by Congressman Gabe Amo and Providence City Councilor Sue AnderBois to have their support this morning for such an important initiative.
