Now in its fourth year, the Swim Safety Corps - a partnership program between @RisingTideEffct, @NYCYouth, and @communityfundny - is halfway through another summer of earn-while-you-learn swim training, drowning prevention, and career exploration.

At Water Rescue Demo Day, hosted by Rising Tide Effect, young people took their training to the Rockaway shoreline, learning alongside @FDNY, @nypd, @NYCParks , and the professionals who work every day to keep New Yorkers safe in and around the water.

Building skills. Creating pathways. Helping save lives. 💙

Bethesda Fountain is getting a glow-up! ✨ Starting in early August, she’s taking a year off for new mechanics, restored water flow, and recreated historic details.

After 150+ years of looking over the Park, she's earned a rest so she can keep watching over it for another century.
