Columbus YMCA Hosts Splash Program

COLUMBUS, Miss. – (WCBI) Only polar bears would enjoy a swim this time of year, right?

Wrong. Local 2nd graders enjoyed an end of January dip this afternoon at the Columbus YMCA.

The indoor pool acted as the perfect setting for the program known as Splash. Staff members teach the children how to swim and basic safety tips on how they should behave around water.

Instructors also used the water for character building exercises. The free program is held annually.
