BLOOMSBURG — Soon, swimming will be a daily activity for families. A regional family and children’s resource is emphasizing water safety for children. Susquehanna Kids says learning to swim is a critical life skill.
A recent article quotes Geisinger pediatrician Dr. Laura Spahr encouraging families to invest time and money into swim lessons, “I encourage you to make it a high priority to ensure your child learns to swim.”
