Massachusetts is offering free swim lessons through the Department of Conservation and Recreation beginning Monday, July 5.
This comes after a series of drownings across the state in recent weeks.
Classes are Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Children must be at least 4-years-old by the first swim lesson.
Classes run through August 13 at several DCR pools across the state.
