Pine Bluff hosts Adult Learn to Swim Clinic
We celebrate the opening of a new pool in our state! The Pine Bluff Aquatic Center opened in 2019, and USMS is hosting an Adult Learn to Swim Clinic at the pool on February 29th. If you, or someone you know, wishes to get certified in ALTS, we offer scholarships to cover the registration fee on a first come, first served basis.
