Republic Bank is pleased to launch National Learn to Swim Week, 2021. This year’s event will be staged from 6-10 April 2021.
The Republic Bank National Learn to Swim Week has become a staple on the events calendar, and is much looked forward to by young persons during the Easter break. For the past 6 years, the Bank has given steady support to the Grenada Youth Adventurers (GYA), the organisers of the event, by providing safety equipment such as noodles and kickboards, refreshment, t-shirts and stipends for the volunteer coaches and lifeguards.

From inception, the programme has received widespread support from the public, by way of volunteers as well as participation from both adults and juniors alike. Over 4,000 persons have benefitted from the lessons provided over the 6-year period.
