Alderman Cardenas has partnered with Maria Saucedo Scholastic Academy in Little Village, the Chicago Park District and Latinos Progresando to provide free, year-round indoor swim lessons for families in the 12th Ward. Principal Hiltz of Maria Saucedo, a city-wide magnet school for math, science, and technology said, “I am so happy that our dream of offering our pool to the community has come true. This wonderful opportunity will help increase water safety, water skills, and water awareness for all members of our families – babies to adults.” Swim lessons are available at Maria Saucedo (2850 W. 24th Boulevard) Saturdays and Sundays between 9:15am-2:45pm. Residents can pre-register by emailing jjuarez75@cps.edu with their contact information and the name of the class they’d like to join.
