Photograph caption dated April 11, 1960 reads, "Kids get lots of kicks out of the North Hollywood Learn-to-Swim program. This event, staged annually by the North Hollywood Area YMCA and Valley Times, will be held this year from April 11 to April 15. Arranged to teach the elements of water safety to boys 8 to 12, the program offers a fine opportunity for boys to learn or improve their swimming. In this picture showing the Push-Out-From-the-Side technique, Davis Masten, 9, and Richard Strassell, 9, are getting instructions from "Y" counselor Vern Brown."
