Swim program to begin at rec center

The city of Durango Parks and Recreation Department will provide certified swimming programs to children through the financial assistance of the Cristian Korte Memorial Fund, according a city news release.

Swimming programs are available at the Durango Community Recreation Center. Programs and schedules are available for viewing at www.durangogov.org/register4rec.

Following the drowning death of 6-year-old Cristian in August, the Korte family came together to create a fund to help assure every La Plata County family can afford to provide swim lessons for their children, regardless of income.

For more details on this program, contact Shelly Korte at www.swimmingisalifeskill.org.

To register for a swimming program, please contact Kimberly Ebner, aquatics supervisor, at 375-7310.
