Pool Safety for Refugees can Save a Life. Each summer Iskash*taa volunteers teach swimming and stress safe pool activities in the many apartment pools around town. The City of Tucson has generously opened their Catalina pool for us to teach swim lessons for refugees 10 years old and up. Refugees need not have a bathing suit – shorts and a T-shirt will work as the staff understands cultural sensitivity. Iskash*taa organizes the youth and transportation with the help of Iskash*taa volunteers, TUSD teachers, and others making these fun filled Saturdays a big success July and August each year.
