First 5 Riverside County Partners with Desert Recreation District to Expand Swimming Lesson Access for Youth

Riverside County Children & Families Commission approved $280,000 in new funding to support drowning prevention efforts through DRD.

A child plays in a pool with a woman nearby, while a man swims. It’s a sunny day, and the scene shows family fun.

The funding will support over 2,000 children from the Coachella Valley who can receive free, safe group swimming classes this summer.
