The St. Paul Sunnies are born! Until now, most StP kids haven’t been exposed to competitive swim meets until high school. That changed 5 minutes ago as Sunnies finished inaugural season with internal meet at Jimmy Lee Rec on Lexington Parkway. Signed,Highly Biased St. Paul Poppa
Online/phone registration for free youth swimming classes this summer filled within hours -- in some cases, minutes -- of opening up Monday morning. That doesn't mean every spot was taken. 1,000 spots were held in reserve this year, like last year. https://t.co/TrqPg9tfeV #StPaul
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio did a mind meld with St. Paul Parks and Rec staff this morning. Florida, which tends to lead nation in youth drowning, is very curious about St. Paul’s progress with aquatics, including teen lifeguard training and now free youth swim lessons this summer.
If someone were to write a Top 10 list of things going right in St. Paul, aquatics efforts might be toward the top. When other cities closed pools due to short staffing, ours stayed open thanks to free teen lifeguard training. Other cities need our kids for lifeguard help.
