Originally uploaded by CD-13

With schools letting out for the summer and expected high temperatures this weekend, today was the perfect day to kick-off the start of the city’s pool season. To help give more kids an opportunity to learn to swim, Kaiser Permanente is once again partnering with the city to sponsor “Operation Splash,” which will provide free swimming lessons to 8,000 kids and 700 scholarships for the junior lifeguard program.
