NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — It's a good time to remind you: this is Water Safety Month and a good time to take stock of your skills.
Whether your summer plans takes you to the community pool, a water park, the river, or a beach, being confident around water often starts with a class.
NewsChannel 5's Carrie Sharp spoke to Jerrica Williams today about what the American Red Cross offers to help swimmers feel more confident.
"Our training providers do offer swimming classes for adults and children. We also offer life guarding courses and those can all be found by visiting redcross.org/takeaclass."
You can also take life saving courses like First Aid, CPR, and AED training.

Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
