The Marshalltown YMCA-YWCA has a program where they partner with Lenihan School for a program called Teach Them To Swim.  CEO of the Marshalltown Y, Kim Jass-Ramirez tells KFJB listeners about the reason this class started.

This is a free class for anyone who attends Lenihan school in Marshalltown, the students then get a free year long membership after the class.  The YMCA is able to offer this free because of the support they see with their annual campaign and other community grants.

Jass-Ramirez says they have a class that is about to graduate, but they will have more classes start next semester.  Look for the next class online at ymca-ywca.org
