Among its wide range of community initiatives, the American Red Cross Centennial Campaign has been teaching swimming and water safety skills to people of all ages for more than a century. The Centennial Campaign’s activities in Illinois are restricted to the greater Chicago area.
Since January 2016, the Centennial Campaign has partnered with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago to offer low-cost swimming lessons taught by certified Red Cross water safety instructors. These lessons are open to children and adults at the indoor pools of three Chicago-area Boys & Girls Clubs facilities. Qualified participants can secure scholarships for Red Cross junior lifeguard courses, and guardians of participants can engage in water safety and CPR training free of charge.
