LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — As we get closer to summer, more people will be spending time around the pool.

With that in mind, Clark County is launching free swim lessons for children as part of its drowning prevention initiative.

Clark County officials will host an event Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. at the Hollywood Aquatic Center to highlight the importance of early water safety education for children.

During the event, the Clark County Parks and Recreation Department will receive a $2,500 grant from the Southern Nevada Chapter of the International Code Council to support free swim classes for children 4 years old and younger.
