The high-school swimmers were at the Aquatics Center on Wednesday afternoon teaching Ocean City Primary School students swimming. Their volunteer efforts are part of a cooperative program between the Primary School, the Aquatics Center and the student volunteers. May is National Water Safety Month, and the Primary School students visit the pool each Wednesday during the month to learn how to be safe around the water.  The student volunteers included Colby …

CONGRATULATIONS to all the volunteers involved in this very important program. Swimming is a vital skill that everyone should learn, but many do not know how or are very weak swimmers.

More than a million Americans live with autism, and on Monday afternoon an even greater number of bubbles floated above the Earth.
