The NY SWIMS initiative will offer free swim lessons for children ages zero to 12 at YMCAs in Ithaca, Cortland, and Binghamton — part of a state partnership to boost water safety and education.
Families should check with local centers for start dates and eligibility.

Tompkins County lawmakers approved a $2 million state grant application Tuesday to begin a geothermal heating and cooling project for the downtown government campus.
