New York City nonprofit provides free swimming lessons to underserved communities.
In an effort to prevent drownings and give kids a chance to learn how to play safely in water, Rising Tide Effect teaches youth how to swim in a pool as well as an ocean. June Hsu and Rendy Wicaksana report.
I read that as 'undeserved' for a moment and was a little confused
4Yeah, I was so confused and couldn't understand if this was some ultra-racist news article or something.

Our local school district provides swim lessons as part of a PE unit to all second graders by busing them to a local indoor facility. They even have free swimwear available for students who don’t have it. A previous school district I was in had a PE program where 3-5th graders got to learn to ride bikes, they brought in a huge trailer of different sized bikes. There’s a lot of physical activity that some people take for granted without realizing that not everybody has the same opportunities. Programs like this are so important.
