“Some of these kids will be dropped by the wayside and they will not be able to take advantage of it for one reason or another,” Grier said. “The safety and health benefits of this are priceless. If you can learn water safety and exercise and everything that (swimming) gives you, that’s great.”

We are committed to taking it strategically.”
