MYRTLE BEACH - The Coastal South Carolina chapter of the American Red Cross will seek partnerships with local swimming pools to offer free or reduced cost swim lessons for residents of Sandy Island during the spring and summer.
According to a news release, the effort is in response to the recent tragic drowning of three of the islands residents when their boat sank just off shore.
Shaquatia Robinson, 19; her mother Lou Ann Robinson, 47 and their cousin Rishard Pyatt, 17, drowned after their boat capsized Feb. 18 about near the Sandy Island boat landing.
Sandy Island residents interested in receiving swim lessons should contact the chapter at (843) 546-5422 in Georgetown or (843) 477-0020 in Myrtle Beach.
