SEASON 2 - EPISODE 5 - On this episode of GC360 we are discussing drowning prevention and preparing your children for the swim season.

According to Americans for the Arts, since the first case of Covid-19 was reported last year, cancellations and closings have taken place at nearly every arts organization across the country, and nearly two-thirds of the nation’s artists are now unemployed.
