“Swimming is a life skill, and access to a public pool ensures that everyone in our community, regardless of their economic status, has the opportunity to learn and enjoy this essential activity,” he said.
The New York Statewide Investment in More Swimming, or NY SWIMS initiative, aims to help areas design, construct, and modernize public swimming facilities.
