Dozens of children from Grace Place, many who had never been in a pool before, began their 10 days of free swimming lessons Monday. The drowning prevention class was started because, according to Diane Ponton, director of family literacy at Grace Place, drowning is the lead cause of accidental deaths in children age 1-4 in Collier County.
