Marysville: Free swim at high school
Tonight is the next in a series of free swims in Marysville.
The swim is planned for 7 to 9 p.m. at Marysville-Pilchuck High School, 5611 108th St. NE.
The first 200 people swim for free. A swim was held last month and another is scheduled for the same time April 9 at the same location.
The series is sponsored by The Venture Church, a supporter of the Marysville Healthy Communities Project. The project is a collaboration by the Snohomish Health District and the city of Marysville to reduce obesity and encourage healthier lifestyles.
Those who attend the free swims are asked to support the Marysville Community Food Bank by donating a nutritious canned food item to the swims.
