After uproar, Marysville reinstates school swim program
MARYSVILLE — Marysville students with disabilities will be able to swim again, the district announced Friday, less than two weeks after the district cited safety reasons in pausing the program.
After the district paused the program, parents expressed frustration because they said swimming was vital for their children with disabilities. The district said the program had to be paused due to safety concerns that emerged last spring, but did not say if any specific incident led to those concerns.
The program will have increased supervision from trained instructors and include lesson plans designed for measurable progress, the district said in its announcement, two of the reasons it cited for pausing the program just two weeks ago.
Previously, teachers on the swim deck supervised. Now, a qualified instructor has been added, the district said.
