The Joy of AquaticsProgramming Series: Across Multiple Sites Part 2The conversation continues this week with Chris Dellit and Mark and Peter Dalle Cort.
We are in the process of trying to find out about what goes into programming and how teachers can ask for help, guidance, support, or even request changes or make suggestions to better the program.

How can we help these relationships flourish?
