DELHI - In a significant step to increase access to swimming facilities and education in underserved communities, SUNY Delhi has been awarded $40,702 as part of Governor Kathy Hochul’s NY SWIMS initiative. The initiative, which allocates nearly $150 million statewide, aims to make public pools more accessible to New Yorkers by expanding opportunities for swimming instruction, lifeguard certification, and improving swimming facilities. SUNY Delhi is among 12 SUNY schools selected to receive funding. The College will use the grant to offer lifeguard instruction and swimming lessons and to provide transportation for children from local 4H groups and nearby school districts to the Kunsela Hall Pool on campus. The grant will also support swim lessons for SUNY Delhi students.
