Philly Parks and Rec Summer Camps End With a First — Universal Swim Lessons | 6ABC Philadelphia

It’s the last week of summer camp for Philadelphia Parks and Rec, but the city is hoping the benefits of this six-week camp season will last for years.

For the first time, Philadelphia Parks and Rec summer camps provided universal swim lessons for all campers enrolled in summer camps at sites that had open pools.

“As of the last count, about 3,000 kids did swim lessons this summer,” said Bill Salvatore, the deputy commissioner of programming at Philadelphia Parks and Rec.
