West Los Angeles at one of the many pools participating in this summer’s ninth annual Kaiser Permanente’s Operation Splash, a FREE summer program offered with the help of the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks, that teaches children and adults in low-income areas to swim. Kaiser Permanente Southern California has provided a grant to the Department of Recreation and Parks Aquatic Division, to underwrite swim lessons for 6,000 low-income children, teens, and adults at 35 participating pools in Los Angeles. In addition, this grant helps fund junior lifeguard training at 48 participating pools; and extend the summer pool season at seven city pools, serving 10,000 patrons.
